Decoding Hate Episode 3: Everything in Moderation
I sit down with Jillian York, Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Director for International Freedom of Expression. We talk all things content moderation - from what we know about how platforms are doing it, to what role states should play in this new information ecosystem. We talk about Jillian's work in this area, and her upcoming book, "Silicon Values: The Future of Free Speech Under Surveillance Capitalism".
