Revolution.Social is hosted by technologist and community advocate Rabble, a.k.a. Evan Henshaw-Plath — who was Twitter’s first employee and hired Jack Dorsey. In weekly interviews, Rabble will interview thought leaders, technologists, academics, and more about the need for a new social media \"bill of rights.\" Just as the original Bill of Rights protected individual freedoms from government overreach, we need fundamental protections from corporate control and surveillance capitalism. This is the start of a conversation about what developers are building, how they're building it, and what consumers need to be asking for. Guests will include Jack Dorsey (former CEO & co-founder of Twitter); Kara Swisher (host of On with Kara Swisher, co-host of Pivot); Cory Doctorow (science fiction author & former editor of Boing Boing); and Taylor Lorenz (founder of User Mag, host of Power User).","last_synced_at":"2026-07-09T16:20:23.930135+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/revolution-social-7409931"},"episode":{"title":"Defending Digital Rights in the Surveillance Era (with Jillian York)","slug":"defending-digital-rights-in-the-surveillance-era-with-jillian-york","published_at":"2025-12-04T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/revolution-social-7409931/defending-digital-rights-in-the-surveillance-era-with-jillian-york","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/revolution-social-7409931","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/divine01/episodes/Defending-Digital-Rights-in-the-Surveillance-Era-with-Jillian-York-e3l6of1","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/11425154c/podcast/play/121905057/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-23%2F426709604-44100-2-39bdfb717f326ed6.mp3","summary":"We need a more diverse approach to internet governance, says Jillian York, the director of International Freedom of Expression at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). At the EFF, Jillian has studied the global impact of social media policies and advocated on behalf of global activists and others whose voices are often suppressed. Today on Revolution.Social, she and Rabble talk about the challenges of content moderation, the importance of end-to-end encryption, and the unintended consequences of age-verification legislation aimed at protecting minors on the internet. They also discuss the theft of copyrighted works that helped train AI large language models, and the necessity of grassroots activism to preserve digital freedoms.
