The Erosion of Freedom of Speech

The podcast episode discusses how freedom of speech, a defining characteristic of the United States, is rapidly declining due to censorship. The speaker emphasizes that the right to express one's thoughts and opinions, even if they are disliked or inconvenient, is essential to the democratic fabric of the country. However, modern censorship is not based on truthfulness or accuracy, but rather on fighting against disinformation and mal-information. The speaker highlights that this censorship is not only driven by the private sector but also directed by the US government itself.
