Ep. 174 Elon Musk, PayPal, and is New York trying to destroy Twitch?

FIRE’s Will Creeley and Aaron Terr join the show to discuss a
slew of recent free speech news: What do we make of Elon Musk
buying Twitter? Is PayPal fining its users $2,500 for promoting
“misinformation”? Is New York trying to destroy Twitch? And do
public employees in Charlottesville, Va., need to shut their
mouths to keep their jobs? Also, how’s FIRE’s off-campus
expansion going?
