We Need a Cultural Shift Toward Free Speech | Guest: Jenin Younes | Ep 315

When federal security agencies leaned on social media companies to suppress discussion about COVID-19 and lockdowns, did they violate the First Amendment? That’s the answer that the Missouri v. Biden case is demanding from the courts. Matt Kibbe sits down with Jenin Younes of the New Civil Liberties Alliance, one of the major attorneys working on the case, to find out what the status of free speech in America really is. While the legal case should be a slam dunk, Younes cautions that the law can only do so much without a surrounding culture that values the freedom of expression even on controversial subjects. That’s why we need to defend speech, not just in the courts, but in the realm of public opinion. With major tech CEOs like Elon Musk, and now Mark Zuckerberg, expressing a desire to support free speech on their platforms, it looks like we may be making some headway.
