🟡 @UnderSecPD Sarah Rogers joins Mixed Signals for a wide-ranging conversation about free speech, tech regulation, and why she’s been rattling the patience of some European governments. @maxwelltani and @semaforben press her on confronting Europe over X, the Digital Services Act, and online speech — including accusations that she’s carrying water for Elon Musk and the far right. Rogers traces her worldview back to the early internet, Gawker comment sections, and First Amendment litigation, and explains why she sees today’s speech rules as potentially dangerous.

The digital divide is fast becoming an AI divide. Semafor editors will sit down with global leaders, including @TechProd_Arch, Founder & CEO of @theflutterwave, and @KaraHurst, Chief Sustainability Officer of @Amazon, to discuss efforts to increase access to the infrastructure and skills needed for AI-driven opportunities. Request an invitation to join us in person in Davos on January 22:
