“infotainment”, “Can we have an intellectual conversation on a platform that’s designed to mine our attention?”, lolcows, autism and TikTok, and more.

Thank you for such an important conversation @jessrauchberg! I was horrified to learn of the existence of these laws, especially that some weren’t repealed until the 1970s. Full episode, “Who gets to be seen online?” live now @spotifypodcasts and @applepodcasts
