Ep. 24 The Simpleminded Society: Online Censorship

Thinker Sensitive

In the seventh episode, Ryan tackles the topic of online censorship, providing examples and presenting some possible solutions.

"But we are concerned about the discretion that exists at the hands of these platforms, and we advocate for greater transparency for the public to understand how Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., make decisions that affect their individual online expression."

-Suzanne Nossel

"The queasy answer is that the very largest platforms should be subject to some kind of ongoing administrative oversight of their censorship practices…. It’s an ugly solution, but I think our society will eventually wind up there if we continue to care about free speech."

-Kyle Langvardt
