This episode was originally recorded for my other gig, The New Liberal Podcast. But I thought it was thematically appropriate for Infinite Scroll as well, so I wanted to share here.
In this episode of the sporadically-released Infinite Scroll podcast, I talk with Congressman Jake Auchincloss about his new bill, the Parents Over Platforms Act. For the most part, I am someone who has been skeptical of many past efforts to regulate child safety online. I think there are a number of ways those efforts could go very badly. But I’m also increasingly skeptical of the idea that we should simply do nothing. Congressman Auchincloss’s bill, at least to me, seems more nuanced and less likely to have negative repercussions when compared with other bills on child safety, and even if you don’t agree I hope you enjoy the conversation.
