In January, I wrote a story for OneZero about the content moderation war in store for smaller social platforms like Clubhouse, Spotify, and Substack. As part of my reporting, I reached out to Glenn Greenwald, a strident voice against moderation who left The Intercept for Substack last year. While I'm not in lockstep with Greenwald ideologically, I wanted to hear his thoughts at length.
This week’s Big Technology Podcast features my full conversation with Greenwald, where we discuss his move to Substack, the line between content moderation and censorship, and Joe Rogan.

The Best One Yet - “Amazon’s 2nd puberty” — Bezos quits. Uber’s $1.1B Drizly drank. Why GameStop stock halted.
Jeff Bezos is stepping down as Amazon CEO because of 1 word: “yawn.” Uber splurges $1.1B for Drizly’s booze delivery because there’s an alcohol arbitrage opportunity. And GamesStop’s stock re-pop dropped, so we’re looking at why trading gets halted on stock markets.
