Carlos Maza Biography

Carlos Maza is a media critic and video essayist best known for S"trikethrough," his video series at Vox covering media and politics in the Trump era. His expertise ranges from fascist propaganda, online misinformation, and free speech debates. His investigation into hate speech on YouTube directly contributed to the platform overhauling its content moderation policies — one of the most significant policy changes in the platform's history. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Columbia Journalism Review, MSNBC, CNN, and CBS. He is currently writing "Free Speech Bad: How Our Free Speech Fetish Is Breaking Democracy," arguing that the liberal obsession with free speech is undermining democracy and aiding the rise of fascism.

Carlos Maza Speaking Topics

  • AI And The End Of “Free Speech”

    The Second Amendment couldn’t account for the destructiveness of the modern assault rifle. In the same way, the First Amendment couldn’t have accounted for the rise of massive AI chat-bots. This talk argues that the rapid expansion of AI technology demands a reevaluation of our commitment to “free speech,” and raises bigger questions about how massive corporations are taking advantage of the First Amendment to avoid accountability.

  • Free Speech Doesn't Work

    The "marketplace of ideas" was supposed to protect democracy by making sure that truthful ideas won out over bullshit and conspiracy theories. It hasn't worked out that way. This talk explains how America’s commitment to “free speech” has turned the marketplace of ideas into a breeding ground of bigotry and misinformation, and why debate isn't enough to fix it.
