Missouri v. Biden: Free Speech, Coercion, and Government Power

The American Idea by Ashbrook Center

Episode notes

The First Amendment’s free speech clause is meant to protect Americans against government abridgment of free expression. How does this apply to social media companies when they are subjected to both formal and informal pressure from members of a president’s inner circle?

Although a narrow ruling, MO v. Biden makes clear the relevance of free speech, regardless of the state of technology at a given time in our history.
