Simon Adler

You're right in here.

You're going to be speaking in that microphone.

This guy?

Nope, the one closer here.

Hey, I'm Simon Adler.

This is Radiolab.

One, two, three, four, five.

Can you hear me, Kate?

Yep.

And that is Kate.

I've talked to her a bunch over the years.

We did a couple different stories that felt like news at the time about Facebook's rules for what we can and can't post on their platform.

I prefer to swear on the radio as much as possible.

We covered the origins of these rules and just how complicated they can become.

But beyond the specifics, what we were really exploring was how the ideal of free speech plays out in different spaces in our society.

You know, from a good old public square where anyone can say anything they want to lightly regulated broadcast TV to straight up private spaces.

And we were asking, like, where does social media fit into all that?

And, you know, I kind of thought we were done talking about all this.

But then... I'm happy we still have a show, too, I guess.

This past month.
