Today, I’m talking to internet policy legend Lawrence Lessig. He's been teaching law for more than 30 years, and is a defining expert on free speech and the internet — and something of a hero of mine, whose works I've been reading since college.You’ll hear us agree that the internet at this moment in time is absolutely flooded with disinformation, misinformation, and other really toxic stuff that’s harmful to us as individuals and, frankly, to our future as a functioning democracy. But you’ll also hear us disagree a fair amount about what to do about it. The First Amendment, AI, copyright law — there's a lot to unpack here.Links: <a href="https://asml.cyber.harvard.edu/">https://asml.cyber.harvard.edu/</a><a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/10/17/1081194/how-to-fix-the-internet-online-discourse/">https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/10/17/1081194/how-to-fix-the-internet-online-discourse/</a><a href="https://www.protocol.com/facebook-papers">https://www.protocol.com/facebook-papers</a><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@aocinthehouse/video/7214318917135830318?lang=en">https://www.tiktok.com/@aocinthehouse/video/7214318917135830318?lang=en</a><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/sensitive-claims-bias-facebook-relaxed-misinformation-rules-conservative-pages-n1236182">https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/sensitive-claims-bias-facebook-relaxed-misinformation-rules-conservative-pages-n1236182</a><a href="https://bigthink.com/neuropsych/repetition-lie-truth-propaganda/">https://bigthink.com/neuropsych/repetition-lie-truth-propaganda/</a><a href="https://www.theverge.com/23883027/alvarez-stolen-valor-first-amendment-kosseff-liar-crowded-theater">https://www.theverge.com/23883027/alvarez-stolen-valor-first-amendment-kosseff-liar-crowded-theater</a><a href="https://fortune.com/2023/05/30/sam-altman-ai-risk-of-extinction-pandemics-nuclear-warfare/">https://fortune.com/2023/05/30/sam-altman-ai-risk-of-extinction-pandemics-nuclear-warfare/</a><a href="https://www.americanbar.org/groups/intellectual_property_law/publications/landslide/2019-20/september-october/into-fandomverse/">https://www.americanbar.org/groups/intellectual_property_law/publications/landslide/2019-20/september-october/into-fandomverse/</a>Transcript: TKCredits: Decoder is a production of The Verge and is part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.Today’s episode was produced by Kate Cox and Nick Statt.
