    Episode 185 - Complying With Impossible Laws

    If a law is literally impossible to follow, it undermines the legitimacy of the legal system itself. Decentralized social network platform Mastodon says it can't comply with Mississippi's age verification law. A law that cannot be complied with doesn't regulate behavior, instead it criminalizes existence. In this case, the law is less about shaping user behavior than about shaping which platforms survive. And this is where the US is heading. We explore this and so much more. Please don't miss this one.
