Obama Wants To CENSOR Your Free Speech. A Response.

Barack Obama recently held a speech at Stanford University concerning disinformation and democracy. In that speech, the former President called for regulations to combat "disinformation" on the internet. He claimed to be a free speech absolutist, but still decried "hate speech" and said it was incumbent upon tech companies to work with interest groups to regulate certain kinds of speech. Obama essentially used his speech to draft a framework for censorship, which is especially interesting amid the backdrop of Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter for $44 Billion dollars.

In this video, Mr. Watson provides a philosophic critique of Obama's foundational points to his argument, and more broadly talks about the importance of free speech to a free society. Watch for more.
