MC Weekly Update 5/8: Solving the Head of State Problem

Alex and Evelyn discuss Utah's new age verification law going into effect and the state's completely unrelated spike in VPN downloads; the horrific footage of the Allen Texas shooting on Twitter and how the understaffed platform is coping with one of the hardest content moderation challenges; but it's okay, Musk is focusing on other really important issues. Also, Meta's adversarial threat report (and Twitter's lack thereof); the 9th Circuit decision in a jawboning case brought by RFK Jr against Elizabeth Warren; the Brazilian government's latest attempts to limit internet freedom; and Bluesky's solution to the head of state content moderation dilemma.
