Free speech lawyer Preston Byrne joins The Capitalist to unveil the GRANITE Act, a bold new proposal that would strip foreign regulators of immunity in U.S. courts and allow American companies to sue for millions in damages.


In a wide-ranging conversation, Byrne explains how a growing clash over online regulation could redefine the internet itself — and why the next front in the global free speech war may be fought not in Silicon Valley or Brussels, but in Washington.
