We delve into the significance of social media's impact on discourse filters, and why open-source platforms should be the future. This eye-opening episode emphasizes the importance of free discourse and the need for a more inclusive, censor-free world of ideas.

I'm still feeling a little under-the-weather so Bill Ottman is going to be coming to the studio on Thursday evening instead, and for tonight we will be thumbs through some grab bag items, taking calls, and talking about Catfish Stories—times when a person may have assumed a fake identity in order to scam you in some way. This is a hidden world of creepiness that the digital age has brought to live in ways previously unimaginable. A really great episode with a pretty awesome Macho Man Savage story at the very tail end.

When the founding members of the United States Congress wrote into law the protection of citizens' right to free speech it would be seen as a great step forward for the fledgling democracy. They could not possibly have foreseen that their ideals would be put to the test not only in the printed word but within the realm of cyberspace, as well. The shifting of political discourse and the dissemination of information from the traditional media outlets into the mostly wide-open forums of social media has taxed the definitions of protected speech greatly. With AI algorithms scraping up your data points, slamming the doors on perceived misinformation and bot activity, and large platforms stumbling attempts to rein in extremists and hate speech, the internet seems to be taking a strange turn from the largely unfettered freedom of its early days.

Since the late 1940s, unidentified aerial phenomena reported in our skies have remained an issue on the public mind, and an occasional focus of various government agencies. As significant as the UFO problem is, of equal concern to many is the transparency government agencies display about their involvement with the phenomenon and its study.  This week, we begin with a report on UAP developments in Brazil, where the Brazilian Senate recently passed an official Requirement related to UAP transparency. Brazilian UFO researcher A.J. Gevaerd joins us to discuss this development, and then later in the program, Bill Ottman, CEO and co-founder of Minds, joins us to discuss his interest in the UAP subject, along with issues related to free speech, transparency, and alt-tech in this week's edition of The Micah Hanks Program.  The story doesn't end here... become an X Subscriber and get access to even more weekly content and monthly specials.
