What happens when governments worldwide declare war on free speech? In a shocking turn of events, Brazil has banned X (formerly Twitter) entirely, the UK is sending police to citizens' doors for "wrong" social media posts, and the US government seems eager to follow suit. This explosive conversation with NetChoice's Carl Szabo reveals the disturbing truth about how quickly digital freedoms can vanish overnight. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart From Google's antitrust battles to Brazil's unprecedented crackdown on X, this episode exposes the growing global assault on tech companies and free speech. Szabo, Vice President and General Counsel at NetChoice, breaks down how governments are using "protecting democracy" as a smokescreen for controlling narratives and silencing dissent. The discussion reveals shocking statistics about law enforcement's failure to investigate real online crimes while focusing resources on policing political speech. The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Nichols and Szabo explore the stark divide between "government-as-savior" and "freedom-first" approaches revealed during COVID-19. They analyze how this ideological split continues to shape tech policy, with some states embracing innovation while others double down on regulatory control. Szabo shares inside knowledge of pending legislation and executive orders that could either protect or destroy online freedom in America. Perhaps most disturbing is the emergence of what Szabo calls the "success is sinful" mentality in American antitrust enforcement. From Google to Nvidia, successful tech companies are increasingly targeted not for harming consumers, but for being too successful. The discussion reveals how this approach threatens to drive innovation and investment out of the United States, potentially crippling America's technological leadership. The episode concludes with a powerful analysis of the battle between common sense and idealism in American policy. Szabo and Nichols examine how COVID-19 exposed the benefits of deregulation and free markets, while warning about the dangers of governments using "misinformation" concerns to justify censorship. Viewers will gain crucial insights into protecting digital freedoms and understanding the high stakes of current tech policy debates. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart) with code TBNS at checkout for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being! ☕ Elevate your morning routine with Colockum Craft Coffee (https://www.colockumcraft.coffee)!

Utah State Representative Jordan Teuscher also joins to share the view of the Legislature, one of the defendants in the case.

Hosts: Greg Skordas & Rusty Cannon Utah judge rules Amendment D “void,” still allows it to go on the ballotIn what appears to be an historic decision, a Utah judge has ruled that Amendment D – the ballot question dealing with how citizen initiatives are processed – is “void.” But the question will still appear on the November ballot. The state says it will appeal the decision; county clerks are able to print the ballots in the meantime. How did we get here? And what specific points did the judge make in her ruling? KSL at Night hosts Greg Skordas and Rusty Cannon break it all down for our listeners. Congressional Republicans struggling to pass funding bill to avoid government shutdownAnother government shutdown looms as Congress struggles to pass a funding bill. The big holdup this time? Allocating funding for the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship in order to vote in federal elections. We go into detail on why Speaker Mike Johnson pulled the bill off the House floor and what other hurdles remain before the government runs out of funding. Former President Trump says he won’t do another debate with V.P. HarrisToday, former President Donald Trump said he would not do another debate against Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump claims that he won Tuesday night’s debate, but pundits aren’t entirely sure that’s accurate. Even still, is avoiding another debate a smart political move? The KSL at Night hosts share their thoughts and discuss what the candidates have been doing in the last two days.

Netchoice's Carl Szabo argues against new laws in Florida and Texas that, if upheld by the US Supreme Court, ban social media companies from censoring content on their platforms. Netchoice is involved in the case. Szabo says the laws require the private companies to host and carry content they do not want to be involved with and that, in his opinion, is a violation of the First Amendment rights of the businesses.

In our inaugural live recording ofThe Dynamist, FAI hosted a debate on two upcoming Supreme Court cases, Moody v. NetChoice and NetChoice v. Paxton. These cases could have major implications for online free speech and whether states can regulate the practices of Big Tech platforms.Over the past ten years, the debate over how companies and governments deal with online speech has only intensified. Whether you call it content moderation or censorship, people have very strong opinions about how companies like Meta, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok moderate their platforms. Florida and Texas both passed laws in recent years aimed at cracking down on what they see as politically biased behavior by these companies. Florida Senate Bill 7072, among other provisions, imposes fines on companies who "deplatform" political candidates and news outlets. Texas House Bill 20 prohibits social media companies with 50 million or more active monthly users from discriminating against users based on their viewpoint.On Feb 20, 2024, Evan moderated a debate at FAI's office in Washington, DC. Arguing for NetChoice is Carl Szabo, Vice President & General Counsel of NetChoice, a trade association representing tech companies and the plaintiff in both cases. Arguing for the states is Adam Candeub, former Trump Administration official and Professor of Law at Michigan State University. 

AI is here to stay, but many conservatives are fearful that AI will wipe out conservative thoughts altogether, namely due to left-wing companies like Google, Meta and others that go out of their way to censor information and brainwash lefty lemmings. But what if I told you that the left fears AI too and that's exactly why they're attempting to regulate it. Additionally, China's embrace of AI leaves America no choice but to adapt and advance AI in America to keep an edge over our largest geopolitical enemy. Carl Szabo, VP and general counsel for NetChoice & professor of Internet Law at George Mason University's Scalia Law School, debunks all of the scary myths about AI that conservatives have been taught to fear and offers many more reasons why conservatives should embrace AI.

House Republicans made major moves last week, as Speaker Kevin McCarthy directed the House to initiate an impeachment inquiry into President Biden in light of his potentially corrupt business dealings. Additionally, the House Committee on Homeland Security continues investigating the injustices at the southern border. This week, they will host a hearing focused on the financial cost of the border crisis, examining how many American taxpayers now face overwhelming financial burdens due to millions of migrants illegally crossing the border. On the Rundown, Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee Mark Green (R-TN) shares his thoughts on House Republicans' impeachment inquiry into President Biden & what he believes it could reveal. He also discusses how Americans facing higher medical bills, insurance rates, and even gas prices may all correlate to the mass number of migrants now residing in the U.S. and his efforts to keep "obscene" materials out of schools across America. Approximately fifty million children across the country were abruptly tossed into remote learning during the pandemic. Three years later, students and teachers now grapple with the effects of learning loss in the classroom. Test scores are the lowest they've been in years, with kids unable to meet standard grade-level requirements. On the Rundown, FOX Business' Lydia Hu, who is focusing on learning loss as part of FBN's weeklong series on "Education in America," shares why parents are frustrated with the "equitable grading" system and breaks down how learning loss may snowball into even bigger problems for future generations.

Montana Governor Greg Gianforte signed a bill on Wednesday banning TikTok in the state, making it the first state in the United States to ban the social media app completely and drawing wide outrage from industry experts and civil rights groups.Montana legislators passed a bill last month banning TikTok on all personal devices, prohibiting it from operating within the state and barring app stores from offering the app for download.The measure is the most sweeping one compared with other states' attempts to curtail TikTok.Montana's ban on TikTok has been a topic of heated discussion, as it is likely to be challenged in courts for violating free speech rights and the difficulty — or even impossibility — of enforcing it.Since its introduction, the bill has drawn outrage from industry experts and civil rights groups who have called on Gianforte to veto the bill. Despite the pushback, the governor signed the bill into law and said it was "to protect Montanans' personal and private data" in a Twitter post.His post received many comments, most of which question the enforceability and the real motive behind the measure. Quite a number of users sarcastically wished the governor "good luck", as they see major hurdles ahead."Good luck with that. I don't need or want your 'protection'," Twitter user ImpossibleK wrote.Responding to the governor's tweet, another user Blythe Woolston said, "Certain to be challenged as an infringement of free speech and practically unenforceable in any case."The ban goes into effect in January 2024. It does not specify how the state would enforce or monitor it. Some said people can easily circumvent the ban by using a VPN, or virtual private network.Defending users' rightsIn a statement, TikTok said it would push to defend the rights of users in Montana."Governor Gianforte has signed a bill that infringes on the First Amendment rights of the people of Montana by unlawfully banning TikTok, a platform that empowers hundreds of thousands of people across the state," the company said in a statement."We want to reassure Montanans that they can continue using Tik-Tok to express themselves, earn a living, and find community as we continue working to defend the rights of our users inside and outside of Montana."The popular social media app now has 150 million monthly active users in the US. It has been under increased scrutiny over "national security "issues because its parent company ByteDance is based in Beijing.The administration of former president Donald Trump tried to ban TikTok in 2020, but the attempts were blocked in court due in part to free speech concerns.US President Joe Biden's administration initially shelved those plans, but has more recently threatened to ban the app if the company's Chinese owners do not sell their stakes.Wednesday's ban has renewed pushback from industry and rights groups. NetChoice, a technology trade group that includes TikTok as a member, called the Montana bill unconstitutional."The government may not block our ability to access constitutionally protected speech — whether it is in a newspaper, on a website or via an app. In implementing this law, Montana ignores the US Constitution, due process and free speech by denying access to a website and apps their citizens want to use," said Carl Szabo, NetChoice's general counsel.The American Civil Liberties Union said in a statement, "With this ban, Governor Gianforte and the Montana legislature have trampled on the free speech of hundreds of thousands of Montanans who use the app to express themselves, gather information, and run their small business in the name of anti-Chinese sentiment."Banning英/ˈbænɪŋ/ 美/ˈbænɪŋ/n.禁止；禁令Speech英/spiːtʃ/ 美/spiːtʃ/n.演说，发言

What would the Founders think of social media's unlimited and instant communication across the country and around the world?  Would they try to regulate it?  From what authority could the Founders and subsequent government actually regulate social media?  What are the main differences between social media entities and TV or radio which use public spectrum to broadcast?  These are questions worth pondering as we discuss the government's role in social media in today's chat.  We are honored to welcome our guest, Carl Szabo, Vice President and General Counsel of NetChoice and Adjunct Professor of Internet Law at George Mason Antonin Scalia School of Law and our student panel for this informative and lively chat.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot lost her re-election bid on Tuesday, becoming the first Chicago mayor to lose their re-election campaign in 40 years. Crime became the top issue for voters in this race, and as residents grappled with safety concerns due to rising crime rates in Chicago, the incumbent Mayor Lightfoot lost a great deal of confidence and support. But what led this progressive Democrat, who won the mayor's office by massive margins in 2019, to suffer a historic defeat in her re-election attempt? Axios Chicago's Justin Kaufmann joins the Rundown to discuss how the primary vote became a referendum on the city's violent crime and breaks down Lightfoot's fraught legacy and tenure. Later, Co-founder and President of RealClearPolitics Tom Bevan joins the podcast to explain how a very Democratic city came to prioritize crime on the ballot and the showdown to come between the two remaining candidates and their policies on policing and education. Many Americans celebrated when President Biden announced his plan to forgive up to $20,000 in student loan debt for each borrower. As a result of the HEROES Act, the Biden administration was able to provide relief to student loan recipients during the national emergency of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, others are challenging the President's promise by bringing the issue to the Supreme Court, arguing that the law does not give the President legal authority to cancel the debts. Chief Legal Officer at the Job Creators Network Foundation Karen Harned joins the Rundown to discuss how the two plaintiffs she's representing have been excluded from the President's debt relief program and why the plan would not solve the root cause of unaffordable tuition in higher education.   Plus, commentary by General Counsel for NetChoice, Carl Szabo.

There are two kinds of states: those that recognize home sharing, and those that pretend it isn't happening. While regulations that provide a framework and certainty for an industry can actually be good companies like Airbnb and HomeAway, the devil is always in the details. Recently, Arizona passed a law on home sharing, and Carl Szabo, Policy Counsel for NetChoice, says other states should follow the Grand Canyon State's example. Carl and Evan discuss the bill and how it differs from approaches in other states and cities. Should states have the final say on home sharing? Can localities be trusted to avoid regulatory capture? For more, see Carl's op-ed in the Tech Policy Corner.
