This week we speak with Global Voices editors Oiwan Lam, Mahsa Alimardani and Nevin Thompson about how politics and censorship are affecting Pokémon Go in Iran, Japan and China. We also take a look at two stories related to free expression in Timor-Leste and Mexico.
This episode features stories by Dalia Kiakilir, Giovanna Salazar, Nevin Thompson, Mahsa Alimardani and Oiwan Lam. Many thanks to all our authors, translators and editors who helped make this possible.
