FreezeNet Podcast - 43 - May 2022

Welcome to the public version of the Freezenet official podcast for June, 2022. This month's episode is entitled "This is Not What Democracy Sounds Like" thanks to the story about the secret lawmaking process where amendments to Bill C-11 in Committee were kept secret from the public.

While we cover the Bill C-11 more extensively, we also cover the story of Texas' efforts to ban social media moderation as well as Canada's Innovation Minister finally got off of his lazy butt and tabled privacy reform.

We also cover all the usual music and video game reviews as well as the story about how someone was dumb enough to perform burnouts in front of a police station. All this and more on this month's podcast.

On a side note, I figured out how to incorporate other clips into a single podcast. So, this episode also showcases this newfound skill (it was done in Audacity, so no, it wasn't perfectly straight forward to pull this off, but it is doable after some figuring out).
