837: Open the Chunnel!
Content Filtering, Terrorist Speech and "Kitten" Videos
Dr. Hany Farid discusses new technology designed to automatically remove "terrorist-related content" from social media, similar to systems used for child pornography. He dismisses "slippery slope" arguments about free speech as a "false analogy," even suggesting that the government should act as a broker to determine what constitutes extremist speech. The hosts mock the inevitable expansion of these censorship tools.
