How European Speech Laws Are Silencing Americans Online (Feat. Lorcan Price)

In this episode of The Pod Millennial, host Libby Emmons opens with a personal story about her father tossing a Beastie Boys cassette out the car window and her thoughts on parental responsibility vs. censorship.Then, attorney Lorcan Price of Alliance Defending Freedom International joins the show to unpack how the EU's Digital Services Act and the "Brussels Effect" are quietly exporting European speech restrictions to American platforms—and by extension, Americans. They cover Germany's law against insulting politicians, the shifting definitions of "hate speech" and "Islamophobia," how free speech advocacy flipped from left to right over the past three decades, and why AOC and Mamdani's calls for the U.S. to embrace international human rights law should worry anyone who values the First Amendment.
