You're listening to Breakpoint this week, where we're talking about the top stories of the week from a Christian worldview.

Today we're going to talk about a series of legal outcomes with Christian worldview implications, including from Finland and a case in the United States against social media companies.

And so it made it a very, very public case.

And it's gone on now for quite some time as these things tend to do.

And I think where it reached was the initial charge of incitement.
