About this listen

In this episode of Impressive Hosting, Jesse Friedman speaks with Christian Dawson, co-founder of the Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2Coalition), about the newly launched Secure Hosting Alliance. They discuss how competing hosting companies are coming together to establish industry standards for responsible hosting practices and proactively address issues like content moderation and security. Christian explains the importance of Section 230 protections for hosting providers and how losing these protections could harm smaller WordPress hosts. The conversation explores how the Alliance works to educate legislators about the hosting industry while simultaneously encouraging hosts to collaborate on raising standards, demonstrating that competition doesn't have to be cutthroat when working toward a safer, freer internet.
