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":"Enshittification and “Breaking Kings” (with Cory Doctorow at Web Summit)","slug":"enshittification-and-breaking-kings-with-cory-doctorow-at-web-summit","published_at":"2025-11-26T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/revolution-social-7409931/enshittification-and-breaking-kings-with-cory-doctorow-at-web-summit","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/revolution-social-7409931","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/051fd5289c5709eb3645a7fd96eb0b13893be58450be9149cd6775f2609ade82/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIwZTljNjY2Yy0yZDQ0LTRlYzctYTdmNC1lMDU0NWE5ZDcxMmUiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI1ZGI0ZGViNy1lMjY0LTRiOTItOTlhZS01NzdlNDNiNjRlZWUiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2YTAyNjQ4Y2IwZGFmNjIxOWMxYjY1OTQiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvaW1wb3J0cy9wb2RjYXN0cy81ZGI0ZGViNy1lMjY0LTRiOTItOTlhZS01NzdlNDNiNjRlZWUvZXBpc29kZXMvMGU5YzY2NmMtMmQ0NC00ZWM3LWE3ZjQtZTA1NDVhOWQ3MTJlL05PVERJMzQwNTcxMzg5Ny5tcDMifQ==.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/051fd5289c5709eb3645a7fd96eb0b13893be58450be9149cd6775f2609ade82/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIwZTljNjY2Yy0yZDQ0LTRlYzctYTdmNC1lMDU0NWE5ZDcxMmUiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI1ZGI0ZGViNy1lMjY0LTRiOTItOTlhZS01NzdlNDNiNjRlZWUiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2YTAyNjQ4Y2IwZGFmNjIxOWMxYjY1OTQiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvaW1wb3J0cy9wb2RjYXN0cy81ZGI0ZGViNy1lMjY0LTRiOTItOTlhZS01NzdlNDNiNjRlZWUvZXBpc29kZXMvMGU5YzY2NmMtMmQ0NC00ZWM3LWE3ZjQtZTA1NDVhOWQ3MTJlL05PVERJMzQwNTcxMzg5Ny5tcDMifQ==.mp3","summary":"In this live interview recorded in November at Web Summit 2025 in Lisbon, Cory Doctorow returns to Revolution.Social to talk about building alternatives to “enshittified” digital platforms. \"Apps are websites that are illegal to protect your privacy while you use them,\" Cory explains. \"The reason companies are so horny to get you to use their apps is because they can't be modified in that way. No one's ever installed an ad blocker for an app.\" Cory and Rabble also discuss how Europe could export jailbreaking tools as industrial policy, why other countries should respond to American tariffs with a targeted strike against the tech industry, and why tech workers should have unionized when they had leverage.
