Imagine if the government could control what you see online. Sounds far-fetched? We're jumping into the controversial world of the Patriot Act and Biden's Rules, scrutinizing its inception in the post-9/11 era, its evolution, and its potential expansion via the upcoming Patriot 2.0 (Biden's Rules). We dissect the criticisms it's faced for its broad scope and lack of oversight. This is more than just a history lesson; it's an exploration of government power, its increasing reach, and the implications for our individual freedom and privacy.

As the digital age progresses, our lives continue to intertwine with the internet. But what happens when that freedom is curtailed? In this episode, we're turning our insightful gaze to the potential consequences of the Patriot Act and its successor on internet freedom. We're evaluating the government's capacity to control the internet, its potential impact on social platforms, online fundraising, and even our online freedom of speech. We'll discuss fear mongering, its historical and contemporary uses, and how it ties into this overarching theme. Let’s step into the realm of what could be, and evaluate the future of our digital freedom together.
