The Disappointing Section 230 Hearing—Most Interesting Thing in Tech 28.10.2020 5:31
We had hearings today in the Senate on section 230 and … it was a complete missed opportunity. I would love a smart conversation about the law and how to improve it.

Why It's a Good Thing That Joe Biden is Very Offline—Most Interesting Thing in Tech 19.10.2020 4:50

Facebook and Twitter Both Take Pointed Aim at Misinformation—Most Interesting Thing in Tech 15.10.2020 5:53
Twitter and Facebook both took action when a news story that seemed potentially like a misinformation campaign started to go viral. This got them both in a lot of trouble!
