These proposals misunderstand the business landscape, how innovation works, and the ways that laws can be gamed to protect big incumbents at the expense of small startups.
Free the People's Logan Albright and Mike Feuz are joined by Josh Withrow from the National Taxpayer's Union Foundation to address some misconceptions about tech policy.

Free the People's Mike Feuz and Logan Albright discuss two different approaches to libertarian thought. Should individual liberty be considered an absolute end worth pursuing, or is there such a thing as liberty held in common among a society, for which its occasionally okay to sacrifice some individual liberty?

Free the People's Logan Albright, Mike Feuz, Matt Kibbe, and Matt Battaglia conclude their discussion on the dangers of social media and the general collapse of American society. Much of it comes down to a lack of meaning in modern life stemming from the avoidance of risk taking and responsibility. They also talking about their upcoming documentary about the damage lockdowns are doing to the restaurant industry.
Free the People's Logan Albright, Mike Feuz, Matt Kibbe, and Matt Battaglia continue their discussion of social media and how it impacts culture, although the conversation predictably spins off into a number of other directions, including how cancel culture is weaponized by modern communications, and whether there is any threat so great that we should empower government to fight it.

Free the People's Logan Albright and Mike Feuz talk about the increasingly permanent barriers around the United States Capital, and how they represent the ultimate slap in the face to the principles of democracy and representation that the country was founded upon.
Free the People's Logan Albright and Mike Feuz discuss whether there is a tension between the individualism typical of libertarian thought and mankind's fundamental status as a social animal with a need for community. Do libertarians too often neglect the communal aspect of life, or is the stereotype of the rugged individualist, or crotchety old mountain man, an unfair caricature? Maybe it's possible for both of these things to exist in harmony, with free markets actually encouraging us to look out for one another rather than stabbing each other in the back.
Free the People's Logan Albright and Mike Feuz discuss the problem of big tech censorship, and what a libertarian solution looks like. Both more regulation and private sector indifference seem like bad ideas. Instead, we need to foster a culture where free speech is revered and censorship, regardless of the source, is as reviled as bigotry.
Free the People's Logan Albright, Mike Feuz, and Matt Battaglia continue their discussion of the Capitol Breach, what divides Americans, the unhealthy effects of social media, and how we're supposed to live happy free lives in such a ridiculous state of affairs.
