In a country founded on principles of free speech, one where Fox News finished 2020 claiming the title of “most-watched cable news channel in history”, the outcry of “silenced conservatism” may sound ironic. But is there truth to this sentiment? What do Twitter and the Facebook Supreme Court have to do with it? What could it mean for minority groups, people of color, those with historically ignored voices when we vest silencing power in private organizations? Let’s take a ride through the Constitution, a cause mutual to civil rights activists and white supremacists, fires of free speech under private companies, and the marketplace of ideas to find out. Daisy will discuss these topics and more in conversation with Professor and Law Alumni Scholar Robert L. Tsai of the Boston University School of Law, a prolific author who is well-versed in everything from civil rights and social movements to the First Amendment itself.
