SCOTUS Hears BIG First Amendment Case - In The Tank #441 In The Tank
-
- Government
The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 441 of the In The Tank Podcast. For many years now, we have heard about big tech censorship and the role government may have played. Thanks to investigations like "The Twitter Files," we have gotten some insight into the coercive pressure put upon social media platforms to remove certain content. Well now, the Supreme Court is hearing a case on this very matter. At what point is the government overstepping the protections of the First Amendment in an effort to curb "misinformation?" Can we count on the Supreme Court to safeguard free speech? Just how important will the results of this case be?
