Incidentally, Substack CEO Chris Best appeared today with Parler CEO John Matze on the Megyn Kelly Show, to discuss “tech censorship, President Trump's ban from Twitter, the rise of independent media, free speech, [and] what everyday Americans can do to fight back.” https://twitter.com/zeithistoriker/status/1349497367137902593
I predict an exodus of left-leaning writers from Substack inside the year, as its political brand becomes a liability.
Podcast link for anyone who wants to listen in & report back — this would seem like something media journos might want to report on, yes?
Or it seems we can request @podscribe create a transcript ( https://app.podscribe.ai/episode/60491004) https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-megyn-kelly-show/id1532976305

Last month Substack released their rather hands-off content moderation policy — which observant readers noted was asking for trouble.

PS please can someone who actually listens to podcasts listen to this one and report on it?
What we know so far are the terrible brand optics of appearing alongside Parler, plus host Megan Kelly’s gloss on the content.
We don’t know if Substack said something heinous or just eh

I appear to have inadvertently broken this story — but I also Do Not Do Podcasts* and I really do not want to have to listen to this one in the name of Responsible Twitter Journalism...

PS: Of course nobody *wants* to moderate: it’s a Sisyphean labour.
The problem is that the choice not to make content decisions doesn’t exist.
