Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom

In Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom, Michael J. Glennon critiques the pervasive censorship undermining America’s digital discourse, arguing that the current approach conflates public and private power into a modern cartel that threatens constitutional freedoms. He contends that safeguarding even harmful speech is essential for a healthy democracy, which relies on an open marketplace of ideas. Glennon urges the courts to prioritize First Amendment protections over flexible international standards, emphasizing the need to defend the speech interests of all participants in this vital arena.
