My farewell column in @TheWilsonTimes: "The true muscle behind a free and independent press is an informed and engaged citizenry."

I’ve spent decades defending free speech because it is humanity’s best tool for finding truth, or more precisely, discovering what’s false.

That is why I’m increasingly interested in AI. When used well, it could become a system to challenge human knowledge.

[Greg Lukianoff @glukianoff]

Free speech is how societies create knowledge.

Not because every idea is true, but because claims have to be challenged, criticized, tested, and forced to survive contact with reality.

Used well, AI could extend that process by helping us expose errors and test assumptions.

What does the Constitution mean in a divided America?

That’s the question behind The Blessings of Liberty, a new podcast presented by FIRE and hosted by our newest senior fellow, @RosenJeffrey.

We’re kicking things off with none other than Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.

Patagonia is one of the more aggressive brands when it comes to protecting their marks. Challenging spot for them to be in.

The Louisiana State Legislature just passed a bill that includes an internet exemption in its campaign finance laws, protecting #freespeech. It's patterned after the @FEC's internet exemption.

A New Jersey town’s ordinance bans “offensive” language at public meetings, giving officials broad power to punish protected speech.

The First Amendment protects the right to criticize the government, even harshly, especially at public meetings.

Dover, NJ, meet democracy.
