The Very Serious Impact of Misinformation
In this episode, we sit down with Nico Perrino, a leading advocate for free speech and individual rights, currently serving at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE). Nico shares his views on the increasing government control over digital speech, the role of social media, and how misinformation and disinformation are shaping our society. We dive deep into the debate around censorship, the dangers of having a "Ministry of Truth," and the future implications of AI on free speech. Whether itโs the growing concerns about misinformation or the battle between government intervention and freedom of expression, Nico gives us a fresh perspective on navigating these complex issues. ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: ๐KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2 โ๏ธ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM โ https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum ๐ฃ๏ธTOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT https://bankless.cc/toku ๐MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle ๐ฆUNISWAP | BROWSER EXTENSION https://bankless.cc/uniswap โก๏ธCARTESI | LINUX-POWERED ROLLUPS https://bankless.cc/CartesiGovernance โ ------ โจ Mint the episode on Zora โจ https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/74?referrer=0x077Fe9e96Aa9b20Bd36F1C6290f54F8717C5674E ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 2:46 Nico Perino: Free Speech Advocate Introduction 3:17 Social Media Misinformation & AI Concerns 7:14 Debating 1984 & Ministry of Truth 11:49 Misinformation, Fractured Sources, & Consensus 16:36 John Kerry on Governance & Free Speech 21:56 Fractured Truth: Media Referees & COVID 23:26 Morlocks Trap: Conspiracy Theories and Control 24:23 Misinformation Amplified by Algorithms & Bias 32:56 AI as a Tool for Finding Truth 36:59 Misinformation vs. Disinformation 39:58 The Pavel Durov Case 46:50 Comparing Telegram & Apple Encryption Cases 48:05 Brazil's Ban on X & VPN Penalties 52:58 Balkanization of the Internet and Free Speech 56:10 UK Online Safety Act 59:46 Global Misinformation Laws: Australia to U.S. 1:08:00 Government's Role in Protecting Free Speech 1:12:50 Bottom-Up Solutions for Truth & Speech 1:20:23 Inevitability of Censorship's Failures 1:22:33 Advancing Free Speech 1:23:01 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES Nico https://x.com/NicoPerrino ------ Not financial or tax advice.
