Episode 49: Can We Still Talk About Censorship? with Heather Blakeslee and Cody Hill

In this episode, journalist Heather Blakeslee and former Facebook employee Cody Hill share their thoughts and perspectives for an important conversation on censorship. In the wake of UnityNow's own run-in with the Powers that Be, is the corporate suppression of deemed misinformation going too far? Is it a necessary tool for today’s incendiary political environment, or is it simply fanning the flames?
Moreover, what underlying actors and incentives are creating this problem to
begin with, and how much is the polarizing nature of social media to blame?
Throughout this free-flowing and nuanced conversation, Blakslee, Hill, and
UnityNow's Toby Davis explore what we can do to truly improve our situation, from investing in local journalism to rebuild the Fourth Estate, to pursuing and promoting more good faith conversations à la Braver Angels, to working to change the culture around how we have disagreements.
