In this episode, Aaron Kheriaty and I discuss our involvement in the Murthy v. Missouri case, which challenges the government's censorship pressures on social media companies. We discuss the censorship we personally experienced and the discovery of government involvement in online censorship. We also discuss the media blackout surrounding the case and the role of legacy media in supporting censorship. The episode concludes with a discussion of the Supreme Court oral arguments and the justices' positions. The conversation delves into the Supreme Court oral arguments in the case challenging government censorship on social media platforms. We generally express optimism that the case will result in a significant victory for free speech.Sound Bites:* "The government had essentially set up what he called an Orwellian ministry of truth."* "This is the worst free speech violation in United States history."* "Throttle everything that's positive about Great Barrington Declaration."Chapters00:00 Introduction and Personal Experiences with Censorship06:15 The Scope and Impact of Censorship10:27 The July 4th Ruling and Constitutional Violations13:17The Circuit Court's Ruling and Third-Party Censorship16:46The Appeals Court and Preliminary Injunction17:26Media Coverage and Economic Interests20:03The Supreme Court Case and Expectations24:55 The Twitter Files and Reporting26:52 The Role of Legacy Media and Censorship28:59 The ACLU and Professional Medical Societies32:33 The Supreme Court Experience and Observations36:21 Reading the Tea Leaves: Justices Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson39:16 Concerning Justices and Compelling State Interest41:46 The Purpose of the First Amendment46:00 Government's Spread of Misinformation46:47 Illusion of Consensus47:29 Government's Right to Free Speech48:56 Censorship vs. Speech49:26 Government's Misinformation53:24 Section 230 and Liability Protection58:27 Potential Supreme Court Ruling01:00:48 Impact of Winning or Losing01:07:31 Importance of Free Speech This is a public episode.
