Published on: 20th March, 2024

It's been a weird few weeks on the Internet. I brought on Jason Koebler, cofounder of 404 Media (and former EIC of Motherboard, VICE's tech vertical), to talk about it.

The topics are all from 404media.co . Here are the links:

A cop looking for books to ban in an library: https://www.404media.co/police-bodycam-shows-sheriff-kootenai-idaho-hunting-for-obscene-books-at-library/

The TikTok ban: https://www.404media.co/the-u-s-wants-to-ban-tiktok-for-the-sins-of-every-social-media-company/
