If You Can Read This, Then There Is Still Freedom of Speech Online... For Now (Episode 53) The Mideast Beast Podcast

- Comedy
Mark Zuckerberg might be Jewish, but Israel doesn't want his social media monster online. Yep, turns out the government tried to pass a bill to take down freedom of speech one post at a time, which would make Israel the first democracy to enforce censorship on social media. But it was just a big mistake (add laugh track here), caught by Times of Israel's Political Correspondent, Raoul Wootliff, who thought the legislation didn't make sense and did a little digging. Listen in, while you still can, to hear from Wootliff himself on the behind the scenes, a #CensorFail, and if there is a Facebook Intifada.
