For this episode, we sit down with Justin Hendrix, CEO and Editor of Tech Policy Press, a new nonprofit media venture concerned with the intersection of technology and democracy.

With years of experience in covering tech policy issues, we chat about a bunch of different issues, including privacy, misinformation and disinformation, elections and the future of tech.

S04E04: Justin Hendrix

There is something profoundly human about the Internet, its infrastructure. The ability of people to join without permission and innovate, the ability of actors to act independently, yet obey to certain standards and the ability to provide the services that allow people to communicate - are all features of a very human technology. At the same time, beyond this heavy machinery, humans feed the Internet constantly with data that affects their lives and those of others. While we talk about issues of speech in the Internet, we rarely pose to consider the impact speech suppression has on humans.
