Hosted by the Lectures on Tap team.
Date: July 1st, 2025
Time: 6:30 PM
Location: Williamsburg Brooklyn (exact address provided in confirmation email)
Lecture: Porn Panic & the War on the Open Web
Speaker: BBC Tech Reporter, Thomas Germain
At both state & federal levels, conservative lawmakers are advancing legislation aimed at protecting children from pornography. While this seems like a reasonable intention, critics argue that the methods being proposed are veiled forms of censorship that could undermine free speech across the internet, affecting content unrelated to porn.
Join us for a critical discussion with technology journalist Thomas Germain, who will explore the implications of these laws as they begin to take effect & the consequences for your ability to access information online.
Thomas Germain covers the hidden underbelly of the digital world for the BBC, highlighting how tech companies manipulate users & compete in their quest to dominate the internet.
Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the future of internet freedom & the challenges posed by the evolving legal landscape surrounding adult content!
