Freedom of Speech…Dead, Dying, or Alive and Thriving?!! - S2 Ep 38

This week Lenny and KimmyB are attempting to tackle one of the most pressing questions of today…What’s Happening to ‘Freedom of Speech’? You could be having the “pronoun” conversation, talking about Kanye West, reading posts about January 6th, or discussing the latest victim of “Cancel Culture” and someone is bound to reference Freedom of Speech! For many there’s an honest to God fear and belief that our Freedom of Speech is being stripped away from us one post, tweet, shadow ban, and cancellation at a time. Others believe Freedom of Speech is alive and well it’s just that social media platforms have amplified the every day Joe’s voice so now more people are able to scrutinize, dissect, and pass judgement on the thoughts and views of “others” with greater ease, which recently has lead to more and more accountability reckonings aka “Cancellations.”Is our Freedom of Speech really being taken away or are we just being held to a higher level of accountability? Who should be the “accountability police”? When it comes to Free Speech…who really holds the power? Get ready ‘cuz we’re getting into all of these questions, which means it’s time to ManTFUp!!!
