The current British legal framework and its enforcement are criminalizing speech and jokes, which makes the country internationally embarrassing.

“We're a laughingtock internationally completely. >> We're a joke. Can they please stop [ __ ] crying? Oh my god. What's Jingping thinking? He must be pissing himself. people across the West who see their cities and communities descending into lawlessness.”

The arrest of Graham Linehan for his tweets constitutes a significant moment of overreach that shows the decline of free speech in Britain.

“And now we've got to this point where somebody like Graeme Lahan, who is a celebrity, who is celebrated quite rightly for his comedy, which is brilliant, now gets arrested for tweets.”

The primary issue on campuses is a refusal to accept the concept of free speech itself rather than just a disagreement over who is allowed to speak.

“there isn't a debate about who should speak on campuses there's a debate about whether free speech exists”

Tommy Robinson argues that current hate speech laws are selectively enforced and used by the state to silence political dissent rather than to address genuine hatred.

“It's like hate speech laws are not there to prevent hate. They're there to shut us up. And one level's being shut up and the other level get amplified opportunity to promote their hate and intolerance.”

Large social media platforms are acting as a cartel to limit free speech, effectively digitally depersoning individuals, which undermines fundamental rights.

“When these big tech companies all get together as a cartel to deprive you of your free speech rights, you have been depersoned. You've been digitally depersoned. And they're not just doing it on speech, they're also taking away your right to engage in payments, in transactions, to earn a living.”

While Jimmy Kimmel's suspension from the air is a welcome outcome, the federal government should not be involved in regulating or threatening broadcaster licenses based on their speech content.

He believes the Canadian military is silencing Dallas Alexander by using a cease and desist order to remove the episode.

The Pentagon's efforts to restrict media access and demand pre-approval of reporting are destructive to oversight and will ultimately diminish the military's ability to communicate with the public.

“What these new restrictions will do, like you said, like reporters, they're not going to stop reporting because they can't walk around the halls. But like in totality, it slowly chips away at their media access and their ability to do their job”

The Pentagon's new policy requiring reporters to submit coverage for approval before publication is a clear violation of the First Amendment and an attempt to penalize journalism.

“It feels like this couldn't be a more obvious First Amendment violation.”

Private companies have the right to curate their platforms as a commercial decision, even if those decisions regarding content moderation are eventually proven wrong.

“If they choose, like Pinterest and Twitter and YouTube and Facebook and Google, to change how their platform operates, Zach, I actually think that's a commercial decision made by a private company. They should have the right to do that.”

Seth Dillon argues that criticizing a speaker's ideas and holding them accountable for historical revisionism is an essential part of free speech, not an attempt at censorship.

“I never suggested that Tucker shouldn't have platformed Cooper in the first place I think Cooper should do all the interviews possible and let's hear his ideas and let's respond to them”
