    Reacting to Tech Execs in Congress!

    Admit it: watching Mark Zuckerberg testify in Congress is peak entertainment. Bad questions, interesting answers, good memes. In this episode, I picked some highlights of Zuck and Jack Dorsey in Congress to break down, discussing their answers as well as the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of the representatives' questioning. This might be my favorite episode yet - listen for some classic soundbites and fun dissection!

    In this episode, we cover the Mahanoy v. B.L. case that was recently heard in the Supreme Court and question the ability of schools to punish your speech on social media. We then look at the Crystal Technology Acceptable Use Policy through the lens of the case and think about what limits are reasonable, as well as what happens when you sign a code of conduct waiving certain free speech rights.
