Episode notes

This is just as much about principles first thand it is outright, politics were rit we have avoided. And i think actually dealing with it from that lens, we naturally will talk more about the principles. We are going to get into those things. I think it's a good thing to add up top that we're going to talk about something at the top but we're not type of facebook right now. When we get to facebook, give us the sort of grace to view a very complex gray situation in black and white.

Ben and James discuss the origins of the First Amendment, what a culture of free expression means, and Facebook’s ad policy.
