The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and S. T. Karnick present episode 461 of the In The Tank Podcast. The concept of free speech is once again under assault. The Europe Union’s Digital Commissioner Thierry Breton wrote an open letter to X CEO Elon Musk warning him to stop the “amplification of harmful content.“ Meanwhile, authorities in the UK have been cracking down on so-called “hate speech“ on social media, even going as far as threatening American citizens of extradition over supposed incitement of violence. Are any of these restrictions justifiable? Should free speech be absolute? The In The Tank crew discusses these topics and more.
