Techdirt Podcast Episode 208: A Free Speech Chat With FIRE

from the content-moderation-and-more dept

It's time for another special cross-post from a different podcast. Mike was recently a guest on the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education's So To Speak podcast, for an interview about Techdirt, free speech, content moderation, and a range of other topics. If you didn't catch it there, you can listen to the whole interview here in this week's episode.

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

    FREE speech isn't so FREE when it's a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, given all the tax and student loan breaks.

    One day I'll do a LOOOOONG article about that trainwreck.

    Ah yes, FIRE. I’m surprised they could take time away from their bullshit college speech rating system and counting the money they get from the Koch brothers to have you as a guest.

    Re: Re:

    El Cheetos made a toothless executive order instead of going thru Congress again?

    How will this executive order determine the proper method of freeing speech?
