Protecting Free Speech: The Early Warning Signs From Around The World
From StosselTV
We Americans take free speech for granted. But if you look around the world, you see why we shouldn’t.
In Britain, you can get arrested for saying things online that police find “offensive.”
In Scotland, misgendering someone can land you in jail for seven years.
Canada may soon pass a law that would punish “advocating genocide” with life in prison.
Now in the U.S., the House of Representatives voted for a bill that would make chants like “from the river to the sea” illegal at universities.
These are bad ideas. Free speech is valuable.
After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

Pollution, homophobia, racism, hate; activists claim everything is getting worse. The opposite is true. But if they admit that how would they raise money?
“For activists, success is a threat,” journalist John Tierney explains. “It is going to put you out of business unless you find a new cause.”
Tierney has covered activists for years and watched them move from one cause to another. “But it’s not a business,” I push back. “They’re not making money doing this.” “Oh, yes, they are,” replies Tierney. Lots!
Our new video looks at how these activist groups raise billions of dollars, the consequences of their activism, and why we fall for their scares.

A mother was ARRESTED for letting her 8-year-old son walk half a mile home. Prosecutors said she put her kid “in imminent danger of death.” Really?
The police argued it is too dangerous for a kid to walk alone in his own neighborhood. The data show otherwise. Being in a car is 200 times more dangerous than the risk of getting kidnapped. There are only about FIVE stranger abductions per year, according to: https://www.missingkids.org/content/d… In contrast, traffic deaths averaged 2,386: https://wisqars.cdc.gov/reports/?o=MO…
Lenore Skenazy, author of “Free Range Kids,” points out that irrational fear makes parents and authorities overreact, and keep kids from going out and learning about the world. For the full story, you can watch our video here.
