Скачать или смотреть The Truth about Free Speech in America | Eugene Volokh

This week on The Nick Halaris Show we are featuring prominent legal scholar and free speech expert, Eugene Volokh. Eugene is a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, the author of The Volokh Conspiracy, a widely read legal blog, and a co-host of the Free Speech Unmuted Podcast. For thirty years, he has been a professor at the University of California – Los Angeles School of Law, where he has taught First Amendment law, copyright law, criminal law, tort law, and firearms regulation policy.

Free speech debates are all the rage today and I wanted to have Eugene on the show to lay some important groundwork for this often misunderstood topic. Constitutional free speech law is complicated and most commentators online, especially the loudest voices, don’t have a clue. After decades of teaching and high-level legal scholarship, Eugene has a way of explaining very complex matters in digestible ways.

Tune in to this important episode to learn:
• What public universities can and cannot do when it comes to limiting speech
• The difference between viewpoint and content-neutral restrictions
• The rare instances where free speech can actually be restricted
• The relationship between free speech law and state power over public school curricula
• Why free speech is so critical to democratic governance
• & Much, much more

Stay tuned to the end to learn why Eugene thinks free speech absolutism is a misnomer and to understand how free speech law applies to the public produces of social media companies.

As always, I hope you all enjoy this episode. Thanks for tuning in!
