Hi, it’s Charley, and this is Untangled, a newsletter about technology, people, and power.

Last week, I analyzed a new lawsuit brought by University of Massachusetts Amherst professor Ethan Zuckerman and the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University. The lawsuit would loosen Big Tech’s grip over our internet experience if successful. In this conversation, I’m joined by

, the creator of the tool Unfollow Everything, which is at the center of the lawsuit. Louis and I discuss:

  • Unfollow Everything — what it was, and why Louis built it.

  • What it’s like to receive a cease-and-desist letter from a massive company.

  • Why this lawsuit would offer more consumer choice and control over our online experience.

  • The tools Louis would build to democratize power online.

Okay, that’s it for now,

Charley
