“If [the West] did not have press freedom, we would have to invent it for them." That's what a KGB operative said about its mission to discredit democracies by instigating hate against Jews and creating support for hate speech bans. @mchangama.bsky.social explains:

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.

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.

“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.

“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.

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.

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.

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.

As countries race to regulate artificial intelligence, the language written into these laws could shape how rights, accountability, and free expression evolve for everyone.

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

Local elections should be about local government. Some parties what to distract you from what actually matters: who will do the work. Lib Dems win more councillors every year, win more by-elections, and defend more seats - because we actually deliver for people. #votelibdem

You Already Missed the Real Election Everyone stresses over November, but the real VIP list gets locked in early. If you're skipping the primaries, you're letting everyone else pick your politicians. 🗳️🪩 #Politics #Voting #Democracy #Edutainment Follow for more

With political violence, social division, & despair on the rise, the US has clearly lost its way. I talked with Krista Tippett & @chrismurphyct.bsky.social about why the country is facing a spiritual, not just political, crisis and how to find our way back. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Dr Jonathan Reiner: "One other interesting thing I noted was that when the president left Walter Reed, he posted that he had a perfect '6 month physical.' So we're changing from a routine yearly physical to, I guess as a nod to his age, a 6 month cycle for evaluations."

The former President knew about my attacker's pardon before he even looked into it, and now he's setting up a fund to pay for more violence because of the midterms. It's clear that Donald Trump is still all about furthering his own agenda, no matter who gets hurt. Source #Pardons #Violence
