In this episode of the podcast, Chris is joined by freelance journalist Karl Bode and ILSR’s Jordan Pittman for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of the Internet. 

They dig into the dangers of government overreach on free expression, the precarious role of Section 230, and how media consolidation threatens independent journalism. 

The group also unpacks the rise of “AI slop” — low-quality, automated content flooding our feeds — and what it means for media literacy, democracy, and the way younger generations navigate the online world.
