The Future of Free Speech

California tried banning deepfakes in elections. Months later, politicians were making their own AI-generated attack content. At #FreeSpeechSummit2025, @brooksben.bsky.social argued that what counts as “dangerous AI content” often depends on politics, context, and who holds power.

Are deepfake bans protecting democracy, or restricting political speech too broadly? At #FreeSpeechSummit2025, Kyung Sin Park argued that Korea’s AI laws ban all electoral deepfakes, including satire, parody, and even truthful content.
The latest assassination attempt on Donald Trump reflects a moment of heightened political tension and violence in America. But at @france24.com, @mchangama.bsky.social explains why calls to restrict speech won’t heal this division — and would actually make matters much worse.
If AI can beat one of the world’s top economists at his own game, what does that mean for the rest of us? At the #FreeSpeechSummit2025, Tyler Cowen explains how we can grow with AI.
Chatbots' “hallucinating” is the least of our problems. While critics often cite AI inaccuracies as a fatal flaw, at our #FreeSpeechSummit2025, Tyler Cowen argues this is the most overrated problem in the current discourse.
In 2021, Congress introduced a bill that would have exempted “health misinformation” from Section 230 protection — defined by the HHS Secretary. But would those who supported that law at the time still be okay with handing that power to an unelected bureaucrat today?
At our #FreeSpeechSummit2024, @szabolcspanyi.bsky.social discussed Hungary’s crackdown on press freedom:
We built these platforms, but now they’re shaping us. It’s time to flip the script. At the #FreeSpeechSummit2025, @noupside.bsky.social says platforms must place control in users’ hands.
Private platforms can set their own rules under the First Amendment. But at our #FreeSpeechSummit2025, @noupside.bsky.social explains what's in it for the government when it tries to sway platforms' moderation decisions.
In 1961, the French government swept the killing of dozens of Algerians under the rug. On The Gist podcast, @mchangama.bsky.social talks to @milkepescs.bsky.social about how citizens now have the technology to push back against official government narratives — but only if those tools remain free.
“Digital sovereignty” proponents argue that, to protect democracy, nations must control their online spheres. But would Viktor Orbán have lost in Hungary if the Internet were under government control? @mchangama.bsky.social at @aodemocracies.bsky.social's 2026 Copenhagen Democracy Summit:

Highlights from the Westminster debate on #DemocracyDay👇 Thank you @rachelblakemp.bsky.social for securing this important debate, and to @richardfoordld.bsky.social @lizzicollinge.bsky.social @jamesmaccleary.bsky.social for making the case for electoral reform.
“Why does it cost exactly a billion?” Because billion is the political version of when landlords list rent at $1,999 instead of $2,000 so it feels less fake.

Don't talk about it be about it it is time to stop bluffing it is time to start acting those Senators that voted against the interest of the democratic voters who dealt with 6 weeks of government shutdown because we understood what was on the line and they threw us under the bus

Labour can’t retake it because no part or tendency of the Labour coalition is capable of addressing the material shortages that reality is today serving up. But the Greens tradition at least thinks in those terms.

Happy April Fools’ Day!! We were going to replace all our scoot seats with whoopee cushions as an April fools joke, but since we like being community friendly - we thought the neighborhood might get annoyed at the noise. Though it would bring new meaning to gas-powered… get it? GAS 💨 powered 🤪
Neil Young has to be on any greatest songwriters list imo. And what a voice-- though I like to sing almost everything he did down the octave.
