Features of the House #KOSA that leap out at a first read:

* no exemption for nonprofit entities, which the Senate version had
* any feature that users like is bad, per 2(5)(A)
* your tiny Mastodon instance must have an annual 3rd-party audit, per 6(a)

It’s especially ironic because the lecture is exactly about the ‘paralyzing cowardice’ of today’s elites.

About universities, corporations and media networks bending the knee to authoritarianism. /4

This has happened against my wishes, and I’m genuinely dismayed by it.

Not because people can’t disagree with my words, but because self-censorship driven by fear (Trump threatening to sue the BBC) should concern all of us. /3

This sentence was taken out of a lecture they commissioned, reviewed through the full editorial process, and recorded four weeks ago in front of 500 people in the BBC Radio Theatre.

I was told the decision came from the highest levels within the BBC. /2

Is he used to lying without consequences?

This one feels more likely to me. He's operated in an environment in which he can say anything and deny reality. He's not been required to acknowledge reality. He's been rewarded for the lying. So he lies.

But now in this context, truth may matter. 3/3

Help me out out here folks.

Is it biased perception and attention?

I really think it is hard to deny evidence when it is presented on a video just a moment prior. Maybe he was so focused on the other person who missed his own actions. Limited and focused attention limiting encoding. Maybe. 2/3
