Episode one of a new weekly podcast with BitChute CEO Ray Vahey. What will the name of it be? "PodChute," unless one of you gives us a better title. Weigh in below! (Yes, we're offering a prize. Listen for details. :) )
Themes discussed:
1. Why it is *moral* to offer a platform with policies modeled after the US First Amendment/UN Declaration of Rights.
2. Why Freedom of Speech IS Freedom of Reach
3. How the challenges facing those offering free speech, privacy-respecting platforms have changed over the years. (Ray has been doing this since 2017, remember.)
And more!
Thanks so much to James Valliant for finding this quotation. I promise to link to the podcast in which you discussed it yesterday--just as soon as Ayn Rand Center UK posts it here on BitChute :)

As for the writings in which Benjamin and I have discussed this sort of phenomenon, in the last 2-1/2 years, first is my blog post from January 2021, soon after Parler was unjustly scapegoated and deplatformed:
https://dontletitgo.com/2021/01/17/section-230-the-third-party-doctrine-and-the-looming-dark-age/
And then, several months later, Benjamin and I published this piece in Real Clear Policy, focusing on the merits (normative and legal) of a case such as the one Trump brought against Twitter:
Oh, and here's the MSNBC story I mentioned, re: Parler and Facebook:

Recorded June 30, 2023. Today I had the pleasure of introducing my boss, BitChute CEO Ray Vahey, to another of my favorite people, Free Speech champion and personal hero, Nadine Strossen. In this installment, we first asked Nadine about this week's ruling by the Supreme Court in Counterman v. Colorado, in which the Court explained what qualifies as a "true threat" for purposes of determining whether speech is protected by the First Amendment, and the ruling's possible implications for online platforms' community guidelines. We also asked her what she thought was responsible for the decline in protection of and respect for free speech in recent years--the answer might surprise you. We look forward to continuing this important conversation soon!

(Originally published February 25, 2023, then CENSORED by YouTube the next day.)
Amy and Benjamin discuss an analogy prompted by a NYT article on the Dominion defamation case against Fox News. Enjoy!
(Originally published Mar. 3, 2023) Amy and Benjamin discuss a couple of different angles on the harms created by social media platforms, such as YouTube, which manipulate their users via algorithms ("angorithms"), then censor the byproducts ("hate speech," "misinformation") they don't like--or worse, of which government entities disapprove.

Discussion of a number of issues arising from our discussion with Leonard Peikoff last week, and the events, in Ottawa and elsewhere, in the days since. Nine out of ten fact-checkers agree: this episode contains loads of "malinformation"! Enjoy!
Leonard Peikoff, heir to the estate of Ayn Rand and foremost living expert on her philosophy, explains why he supports the Canadian Truckers' Freedom Convoy and similar protest movements--many inspired by them--throughout the world.
