This week on The Disinfo Detox, host Nolan Higdon sits down with Alison Macrina — founder of the Library Freedom Project and the Library Freedom Institute — to uncover what Big Tech doesn’t want you to know about AI hype, privacy, and the future of libraries.

From Silicon Valley’s promises to the quiet power struggles happening in local libraries, Macrina breaks down how the AI gold rush threatens intellectual freedom — and why librarians are on the front lines of the fight for digital rights.

The conversation explores how surveillance, misinformation, and corporate influence are reshaping public knowledge — and what librarians are doing to push back.

👉 What do we really mean when we talk about “AI hype”?
👉 How is AI already impacting librarians, researchers, and the public?
👉 What is the Library Freedom Project, and how does it defend privacy in the digital age?
👉 How is the Library Freedom Institute training a new generation of librarians to resist corporate control of information?

If you care about truth, privacy, and the future of public knowledge, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
