Free Speech, Censorship, and the Threat of Totalitarianism

@powderhownd1492

This presentation explores the dangers of government censorship on free speech. It argues that labeling opinions as misinformation can lead to totalitarianism and stifles the essential competition of ideas necessary for societal progress. By analyzing historical perspectives and modern implications, it emphasizes the need to preserve individual rights to expression in a functioning democracy.
