Kevin Russo和Casey Newton:X在巴西被禁是科技平台与政府之间在言论自由和内容审核方面冲突的典型案例,涉及到巴西大选、最高法院法官的命令、Elon Musk的回应以及最终的封禁等一系列事件。巴西作为大型民主国家和互联网使用率高的国家,全面封禁X具有重大影响。 Jack Nicas:巴西民众对X被禁的反应各异,有些人认为这是一个积极的改变,减少了网络上的干扰和虚假信息;有些人则感到不便,因为X是他们日常生活中重要的沟通工具。Elon Musk的决策被认为是商业上的失误,因为他为了维护自身政治形象而损害了X的商业利益。 Kevin Russo和Casey Newton:Elon Musk在不同国家处理政府审查要求的方式不同,这反映出他在言论自由和法律遵守之间的矛盾态度。在巴西,他选择对抗政府,而在其他国家则选择妥协。 Jack Nicas:巴西法官的行动引发了人们对言论自由和政府权力过大的担忧,也为美国保守派提供了警示,让他们看到自己对互联网审查的担忧可能成为现实。 Kevin Russo和Casey Newton:X在巴西被禁的事件可能对其他国家产生影响,各国政府可能会效仿巴西的做法,加强对互联网内容的监管。 Kevin Russo和Casey Newton:Paul Graham的"创始人模式"文章在硅谷引发热议,讨论了CEO和创始人应该在公司管理中扮演的角色以及权力分配的问题。Elon Musk的管理风格被视为"创始人模式"的典型案例,虽然备受争议,但也引发了一些CEO和投资者的共鸣。 Kevin Russo和Casey Newton:"创始人模式"的核心在于CEO或创始人对公司事务的全面掌控,减少对管理层的依赖,并可能导致员工不满和公司财务状况不佳。 Kevin Russo和Casey Newton:学校手机禁令的实施情况各异,一些学校的禁令执行严格,导致学生和教师的不满;另一些学校则采取更灵活的方式,允许学生在必要时使用手机。 教师:手机禁令对课堂教学产生了积极影响,提高了学生的专注度和参与度,改善了课堂秩序。 学生:手机禁令虽然减少了课堂干扰,但也带来了一些不便,例如无法在课间休息或特定课程中使用手机。

Shownotes Transcript

Over the weekend,** **X was banned in Brazil. We talk with The New York Times’s Brazil bureau chief, Jack Nicas, about how Brazilians are reacting, whether its owner, Elon Musk, has made a business miscalculation and what this means for free speech around the world. Then, we’re going “founder mode.” We explore why an essay about start-up founders reclaiming their authority went viral and what that tells us about how Silicon Valley thinks about power. And finally, we hear from listeners. Teachers and students left us voice messages describing how phone bans in schools are transforming their lives.
