Concerns about Free Speech in America
The current state of free speech in America raises significant concerns, particularly the absence of a clear and united constituency defending it across the political spectrum. Both extremes—left and right—appear to be increasingly less supportive of free speech principles, with the centrist factions taking the lead in its defense. This situation risks creating an environment where neither side feels fully protected, leading to potential censorship and limitations on expression. Furthermore, international trends demonstrate a troubling movement towards stricter restrictions on speech, as seen in countries like Canada and the UK.
