Episode notes

Sandra Day O'Connor wrote about adult zones in the 90s. The internet got dramatically faster and porn is now everywhere, she says. We've come to a tipping point where we believe as a society that this is deeply problematic, Bullard writes. Both Republicans and Democrats want to take action on online safety.

States want to restrict kids’ access to harmful content online via age verification systems. New York Times reporter Natasha Singer explains how a wave of new legislation could dramatically reshape the internet.

This episode was produced by Amanda Lewellyn, edited by Amina Al-Sadi, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd with help from Michael Raphael, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
