Welcome back to the Getting Frank Podcast newsletter, where I’m diving deep into the eclectic topics that keep the you curious. Today’s episode is packed with everything from rock legends to robotaxis in Miami and controversial legal battles for tech platforms. Let’s break it all down.
Keith Richards: A Rock ‘n’ Roll Milestone
Let’s kick off the episode celebrating the legendary Keith Richards’ birthday. As one of rock’s most enduring icons, Richards has defied the odds, living a life as bold as his music. From iconic riffs that defined generations to his rebellious persona, Keith is more than just a musician — he’s a cultural institution.
Driverless Taxis Roll into Miami
Waymo’s big move in bringing driverless taxis to Miami. The Magic City is quickly becoming a testbed for cutting-edge technology, and this development could redefine urban transportation.
I discuss the potential benefits, like improved traffic safety and reduced emissions, while also addressing the challenges — from job displacement to the public’s trust in autonomous vehicles. The big question we posed to listeners: “Would you trust a driverless taxi to get you across Miami traffic?” The responses were as diverse as Miami itself.
ACLU Takes on the TikTok Case
The American Civil Liberties Union has officially entered the ring in the fight over TikTok bans. At the heart of this battle lies the question of free speech and government control over digital platforms. The ACLU’s involvement could set a precedent for tech regulation in the United States.
Pornhub Ban Sparks Controversy in Florida
Florida’s latest headline-grabbing move? Banning Pornhub. The decision has ignited debates about internet regulation and adult content accessibility, with strong arguments on both sides.
On the podcast, I examine the legislation behind the ban, public reactions, and what this could mean for other states. As always, our listeners’ input added depth to the conversation: Is this a win for morality, or a step toward over-regulation?
