DESCRIPTION:
We, like you, have been hopeful for a strong, pleasant 2021 to recovery from a tumultuous year.
For those hoping 2021 would provide a calmer political environment… Sorry.
In just over a month, we’ve dealt with confusion over election results, a crisis in DC, another impeachment, and a host of issues on social media. That’s raised questions about how those platforms make and enforce their terms of service and what consequences come from those decisions.
But history has shown that exerting more control over speech tends not to yield the intended result.
In this episode of Out of Frame, we’ll take a look at how the corporate and cultural response to increasing tides of restrictions on the free exchange of information is not only misguided, but will also foster a world with even more problems.

Not only does Twitter shadow ban prominent Republicans, they also consider any Trump supporter who tweets about "God," "guns," or "the flag" a Russian bot (as seen in our undercover expose.) https://t.co/lxo0JoN2GP pic.twitter.com/MAPhk8tsvr
