In our recent debate, Chad and I discussed censorship on social media. We proposed a policy suggestion that would bind social media to follow the First Amendment. However, there are a lot of questions about what is and what is not considered Constitutionally protected speech.

In this episode, Will hopes to shed a little bit of insight on that question. The Supreme Court has addressed this issue throughly and has discussed what kind of speech deserves First Amendment protection. Below are a list of cases that we discuss and use as examples in this episode.

Schenck v. United States
Gitlow v. New York
United States v. Carolene Products
United States v. O'Brien
Texas v. Johnson
Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire
