Free Speech Under Fire | Exposing Social Media Censorship and Government Overreach

Is the suppression of free speech an isolated problem, or are we witnessing the rise of a global effort to control narratives and silence dissenting voices? In this episode of the Collapse Life podcast, investigative journalist Paul D. Thacker returns to break down what's really happening behind the scenes and why it matters now more than ever.

Thacker, the powerhouse behind the Disinformation Chronicle, takes host Zahra Sethna on a deep dive into the alarming state of free speech in today’s world, revealing how government censorship, fact-checking agendas, and social media regulations are threatening individual liberties.

Thacker shares his latest encounters with the "disinformation industrial complex," a vast network that works to control public discourse, including a recent clash with Facebook's fact-checkers (from Italy, no less) over a video involving Kamala Harris.

Discover the unsettling truths about how platforms like Meta (formerly Facebook) and X (formerly Twitter) are pressured by governments to regulate content, often labeling free speech as "misinformation" or "hate speech."

Key topics include:

The role of fact-checkers and why their influence may be more about power than truth.
Mark Zuckerberg's apology and the implications of government pressure on social media giants.
How free speech is under attack worldwide, from US policies to international censorship in countries like Brazil and India.
The disturbing trend of aligning journalistic integrity with power rather than challenging it.
The global impact of these censorship efforts on democracy, individual rights, and the future of free expression.
