Do you trust the current administration as the arbiter of truth? What about the next one? At a recent @cato.org event, @mchangama.bsky.social explains how bottom-up social media fact-checking systems can empower citizens to question official narratives.
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.
As countries race to regulate artificial intelligence, the language written into these laws could shape how rights, accountability, and free expression evolve for everyone.
“You have no idea what the person next to you read in their news feed this morning.” At the #FreeSpeechSummit2025, Alice Siu argues that different feeds do more than shape our opinions— they prevent us from finding common ground.
We’ve already seen the dangers of governments using AI without guardrails. But at the #FreeSpeechSummit2025, Tyler Cowen argues that if we don’t focus on building a free AI ecosystem now, governments will start to control the systems we rely on.
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.
Free speech will always be under threat. It is the people's greatest tool and authority's greatest fear. In an interview with @gadsaad.com.web.brid.gy, @jkosseff.bsky.social discusses his new book and why we can never stop defending this freedom, no matter how well--intentioned restrictions seem.
People are comfortable telling AI their deepest, darkest secrets… as long as they know they’re talking to AI. At #FreeSpeechSummit2025, Alice Siu explores this interesting phenomenon and what it means for how we communicate in the AI era.
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?
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.

tRump rarely misses an opportunity to play golf, but oddly, he chose to stay at the White House today. He even insisted on missing Don Jr’s wedding this weekend to make sure he was at the WH today. I actually expected a shooting today. He wants funding. #ProudBlue #WHShooting #EpsteinBallroom

Reference: Letterman, Trump, Racist, 'Red Tie' Everyone around town knew Trump was bottom-dwelling scum, a 6-time 'bankruptee', charity thief, scam university owner, yet #BillionairesForBallrooms🤑 Big-Media 💰#EpsteinClass Comcast News hired him on[Apprentice] and promoted his candidacy in 2015-16.

Luke Danes Can't paint Luke without a plaid shirt. Luke in a red shirt just isn't Luke. As drawing all those lines took a lot of effort I decided to simplify my rendering and I think it's even better for it. Thoughts? #art #digitalart #painting #lukedanes #gilmoregirls #tv #fanart #timelapse

Keep your eyes on Joe... he has a quick fuse and gets to screaming and shouting... foot-stomping, profanity-talking in public, and finger snapping. Easy to see why, with his lying and alley cat ways he has issues.
The Soviet Union was a recognized superpower, but Russia is not currently considered a global superpower. Putin has authorized Police to Conduct "Preventive Measures" Against Draft Evasion. And in Syzran, the oil refinery has suspended operations. 😿

In Phase 1, Ukraine focused on destroying the enemy's air defence. In Phase 2, Ukraine is focused on destroying the enemy's supply lines. In Phase 3, Ukraine will focus on destroying the occupiers and liberating our temporarily occupied territories.
