The Pregame

You Can't Censor America (w/ Preston Byrne)


Listen Later

In preparation for his LIVE AT PUBKEY show downstairs, ⁠Preston Byrne (Managing Partner at Byrne & Storm) grabs a cold one with host ⁠Thomas Pacchia in the PubKey NYC Parlor, where they let loose for an UNFILTERED conversation about:


  • Preston's fight against the U.K.’s Online Safety Act, a global censorship weapon aimed at Americans who never set foot in Britain
  • Why Preston stepped in alone to defend Gab, Kiwi Farms, 4chan, and others when every big law firm refused
  • The UK’s thirty-year slide into criminalizing tweets (and why it’s the cautionary tale for every Western democracy)
  • How anonymous and pseudonymous speech became a constitutional battleground in the age of surveillance and digital ID
  • ...and more!
