Techdirt Podcast Episode 49: A Whirlwind Tour Of Current Policy Issues In Tech
from the crosscast dept
Today, we've got something a little different: a crossover podcast with the folks from a16z. Last week, Mike joined Julie Samuels from Engine on the a16z Podcast hosted by Sonal Chokshi to discuss a long list of important policy issues related to technology and innovation, and for those of you who aren't already following that podcast, we're cross-posting the episode here as part of the Techdirt Podcast as well. Enjoy!

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Trust?
We know Google results are stacked. We pooh-pooh wikipedia as amateur hour. We are sure facebook is using us and popular articles doing the rounds are poor journalism or propaganda.
The internet generation absolutely doesn't trust the YouTubes and GIFs and podcasts and blogs and reality TV and new/old media news that's occupying every spare moment in our work-life balance.
The truth? Hasn't very popular lately.

We want violence, sports. And we give them what we want. Killian is lying to you. And there is no chance the smart people have figured out how to stop sheep acting like sheep and are turning cyber Law away from a democratic Animal Farm :)
