Ep. 137 - Jennifer Huddleston

In this episode of The Federal Newswire Lunch Hour podcast, host Andrew Langer is joined by Jennifer Huddleston, senior fellow in technology policy at the Cato Institute. Huddleston unpacks the complex and evolving relationship between emerging technology and public policy, from data privacy and content moderation to age verification and artificial intelligence regulation.

Together, they explore the legal and cultural challenges posed by proposals like the Kids Online Safety Act, the implications of regulating AI and social media mergers, and the role of permissionless innovation in a free society. Huddleston also draws on her background as an educator and marathon runner to advocate for thoughtful, practical tech policy that values liberty, innovation, and nuance.

If you care about the future of digital rights, online privacy, and balancing child safety with free expression, this episode is a must-watch.
