‘So to Speak’ podcast: Disney and Elon Musk

View video

Does Disney have free speech rights? And did Florida violate the First Amendment when it punished the company for its political activism?

Elon Musk is buying Twitter. What should free speech advocates make of that?

Recurring guest and famed First Amendment scholar Robert Corn-Revere is here to break it all down for us. He’s a partner at the law firm Davis Wright-Tremaine, a member of FIRE’s Advisory Council, and the author of “The Mind of the Censor and the Eye of the Beholder: The First Amendment and the Censor’s Dilemma.”
