“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:

“Trust us bro.” At #FreeSpeechSummit2025, @brooksben.bsky.social warned that the public AI companies and governments are asking the public to trust systems they cannot meaningfully inspect or scrutinize.

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?

“AI is never treated as a neutral or technical tool.” Ge Chen explained how China’s AI regulations go far beyond content moderation, embedding censorship directly into AI systems while also using AI proactively for state propaganda.

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.

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.

How can we give social media users power over their feed? @noupside.bsky.social discusses ways to reshape the relationship between platforms, users, and their phones at our #FreeSpeechSummit2025.

At our #FreeSpeechSummit2024, @szabolcspanyi.bsky.social discussed Hungary’s crackdown on press freedom:

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.

DeepSeek exported censorship. Open source developers reversed it in 48 hours. At the #FreeSpeechSummit2025, @brooksben.bsky.social explained how developers modified DeepSeek’s open-source model to address censorship of responses about Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Xi Jinping.

Marjorie Taylor Greene just fact-checked Donald Trump - on behalf of Thomas Massie. Trump claims Massie "votes for men in women's sports and transing kids." MTG says: "That's insane garbage. The president is unfortunately lying." Mike Lawler - who Trump is campaigning for - voted NO on MTG's

➡️ Big Oil companies are scared to face the evidence of their lies. The fossil fuel industry followed the same playbook Big Tobacco used decades earlier to deny the dangers of its products—and we all saw how juries responded to that.
