E05: Rethinking Freedom of Speech – Who Really Owns the Right to Speak?


Listen Later

In an era where digital platforms shape our discourse, what does "freedom of speech" truly mean? In this episode, we tackle the complex, and often controversial, world of online expression.

From JD Vance’s bold statements at the Munich Security Conference to legislating freedom of speech, we explore the shifting sands of free speech in both politics and technology. Is the digital public square really free, or is it quietly governed by unseen hands?

We also take a hard look at the US administration's paradoxical approach—championing freedom of speech on one side while taking actions that may contradict it on the other. And what about the tech giants and other nation states? How much responsibility do platforms hold in preserving or moderating our right to speak?

Join us as we break down:

  • Why freedom of speech is at a tipping point.
  • The silent power of algorithms and moderation.
  • How global politics are shaping the future of online expression.
  • The fine line between protecting free speech and ensuring safety.

This isn’t just about platforms or policies—it’s about who gets to shape the narratives of our time.
