Why is social media so easily corrupted by the state? Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey says guys like him are the problem.
"I was a single point of failure," Dorsey said at the 2024 Oslo Freedom Forum, an annual conference hosted by the Human Rights Foundation. "It creates a chokehold. You have a company, a CEO, a board, that represents one place where an entity can put pressure on."
That was especially true during the COVID-19 lockdowns, when federal officials were in contact with every major social media platform, coercing them to remove content. Even in normal times, Google and Meta collect vast troves of personal information on their users and receive hundreds of thousands of requests every yea...

____________________________
Former budget director under Reagan, David Stockman, and Stephen Moore, Donald Trump's former senior economic advisor, debate the resolution, "In the current presidential election, both Democrats and Republicans consist of a UniParty that will lead us to the bottom of the national 'policy dumpster.'"
Arguing for the affirmative is David Stockman, former budget director for the Reagan White House. He is the author of six books, the most recent being his 2024 title, Trump's War on Capitalism. He blogs on his website Contra Corner. The resolution's mention of a "policy dumpster" comes from a three-part blog Stockman authored in August.
Taking the negative is Stephen Moore, Trump's former senior economic advisor. He is now a Senior Visiting Fellow in Economics at The Heritage Foundation. He is also the co-founder of Unleash Pros...

Why is the Brazilian government afraid of X?
Judge Alexandre de Moraes has blocked the site formerly known as Twitter in Brazil, where an estimated 40 million people access the site each month. Circumventing the ban on X with a VPN could get you fined about $9,000 a day, around the average per capita income in Brazil. It happened after Musk reinstated accounts that the Brazilian state had accused of being part of "digital militias" undermining Brazil's democracy.

Part One: Beef Grief

The Problem: The price of beef is skyrocketing! And voters are angry! And it's an election year!
The Solution: Reinstitute federal war-time price controls.

Turns out, artificially low prices are harder to swallow when you're the one selling. Angry farmers, unwilling to sell their meat at government-mandated prices, refused to bring their cattle to market. Meat production plummeted. Now everyone was angry. Miners went on strike. Butchers closed. Hospitals complained they'd have to serve horse meat. With vot...

- Kamala Harris says that, as president, she would pass “the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food,” which would include penalties for businesses that break the rules.

- Jane Coaston, a contributing opinion writer at the New York Times with self-described libertarian tendencies, discusses the DNC and the current state of the Democratic Party.
How do Democrats define “freedom”?
It’s Democratic National Convention week, so we wanted to talk about what’s been unfolding there so far: the rhetoric, the thematic choices, and what it all reveals about the Democrats’ 2024 agenda. And how should we state power skeptics and liberty appreciators view that agenda? We’ve invited on Jane Coaston to discuss all that with us this week. She’s a contributing opinion writer at the New York Times, former politics reporter at Vox, and exhibits self-described “libertarian tendencies.”
