The podcast episodes discuss the importance of user rights in the context of online platforms and internet regulation.

For example, the episode "A professor tries to turn the tables on Section 230's web protections" explores Ethan Zuckerman's argument that Section 230 should protect users' rights to build tools to filter and modify content on platforms.

Similarly, the episode "Digital Hucksters, Crypto Scams and the Internet's 'Enshittification' with Cory Doctorow" emphasizes the need to restore users' rights to have control over the digital services they use, in order to address issues like exploitation and lack of competition.
