They look at the history of the fight for free speech and the battle being waged over it today, within the United States and abroad.

    The Battle over Free Speech in Brazil: With Artur Romeu | Bonus 3

    They spoke ahead of Episode 6 of The Battle for Free Speech, about Brazil’s fight against disinformation. He has an important analysis, which helps to deconstruct how Trump, Silicon Valley and the far-right in the United States, and around the world is "instrumentalizing the idea of free speech for their own political purpose and abandoning key dimension of freedom of expression, which is this more social and collective dimension to receive plural, reliable, diverse, and free information from others.”

  • What is Free Speech? With Fara Dabhoiwala | Bonus 1

    What is Free Speech? With Fara Dabhoiwala | Bonus 1
    Sep 3 2026
    This is the first bonus episode of The Battle for Free Speech. Today, host Michael Fox speaks with Fara Dabhoiwala. He is a professor of History at Princeton University. And he’s the author of the book, What is Free Speech? The History of a Dangerous Idea.

    That book was published in 2025 by Penguin Random House and Harvard University Press. His book, in many ways, challenges the status quo about our understanding of free speech.

    Professor Dabhoiwala has a wealth of knowledge on the subject of free speech and he appeared throughout this podcast series. But there were many questions we weren’t able to fit into the series, in particular about the beginnings of what we understand as free speech in the United States, and the difference between free speech in the US and abroad.

    So today, we’re bringing you Michael’s conversation with him in its entirety. They spoke last fall.

    The Battle for Free Speech Podcast is a production of The Real News Network. Hosted by Michael Fox and Marc Steiner.
