On Dec 31st, 2024 I was invited on to Al Jazeera to discuss internet censorship, the new Australian ban on children under 16 from accessing social media, and whether banning TikTok will help prevent the spreading of misinformation.

00:38 Introduction to The Stream
00:54 Censorship is a Government-Led Effort
02:51 The Curious Case of TikTok Bans
05:03 It is Never About The Children

Governments, data brokers, and social media companies have a vested interest in filling their giant databases with our information and we know that they can’t protect it. There are data breaches every single day. Former president of Cisco John Chambers once said, “there are two types of companies in the world, those that have been hacked and those that don’t yet realize they have been hacked”. We need to start taking back the narrative that these entities know what is best for our data, and our lives, or else we risk an Orwellian future we will not be able to reverse.

Special Thanks to Al Jazeera and The Stream for inviting me back on the show!
