Summary

Tech and counterterrorism expert Kara Frederick joins us to discuss what she learned working at Facebook about the ideologies and incentives driving big tech to censor conservative voices, the controversial debate over children's access to social media, worthwhile policy reforms to protect free expression online, and the potential for decentralized social networks like Jack Dorsey’s Blue Sky to end the possibility of censorship forever.

Kara Frederick is a Research Fellow in the Center for Technology Policy at The Heritage Foundation. Kara helped create and lead Facebook’s Global Security Counterterrorism Analysis Program. She was a Senior Intelligence Analyst for a U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command and spent six years as a counterterrorism analyst at the Department of Defense.
