[451 Degrees] The D.U.M.B. Copyright Act

March 29, 2022

Alex and Ian discuss the deplatforming of Chris Hedge’s YouTube channel, going over why he was axed and his response to it. They also discuss the issue with YouTube Content ID system and how the S.M.A.R.T. Copyright Act of 2022 would require similar systems across the internet in the form of upload filters. What does this mean for privacy, fair use, and narrative control?
