Summary

Murthy v. Missouri (formerly Missouri v. Biden) is being called the “most important Free Speech case in the history of America.” Mike Benz – executive director of Foundation For Freedom Online – discusses LIVE. The US Supreme Court is hearing arguments over alleged pressure from federal officials to censor opposing voices on social media platforms during the COVID pandemic, under the guise of “fighting misinformation.” But when the people being censored are experts like Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, and Dr. Martin Kulldorff… who is really spreading misinformation? Mike Benz is the founder of Foundation for Freedom Online, a free speech watchdog dedicated to restoring the promise of a free and open Internet. He is a former State Department cyber official in the Trump Administration, whose responsibilities included formulating and negotiating US foreign policy on international communications and information technology matters.
