  • Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom - The Dangerous Allure of Censorship in the Digital Era - cover

    Free Speech and Turbulent...

    A vast censorship regime has smothered America's digital marketplace of ideas, squelching free speech on vital policy issues. Its supporters regard its benefits as morally and politically beyond question. They contend it's carried out by private social media platforms, not governmental authorities. 
     
     
     
    In Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom, Michael J. Glennon offers a timely and incisive response. The censors are short-sighted, he argues. Quibbling over outdated distinctions misses the real threat—which is the fusion of public and private power into a modern-day cartel able to overleap longstanding constitutional safeguards. American democracy, he argues, rests on a decentralized marketplace of ideas independent of the government. In crisp, trenchant terms, Glennon shows how concrete practical concerns justify protecting admittedly harmful online speech—even speech that advocates violence or embraces hatred or apparent falsehood. 
     
     
     
    To safely self-correct, democracy requires open channels of political communication. Glennon calls on the courts to unblock those channels—to measure such speech against enduring First Amendment precepts rather than pliable international norms—and to protect the speech interests not merely of the government and Big Tech, but of all participants in the marketplace of ideas.

    The thrilling story of a pioneering conservationist working with dogs to protect wildlife from poachers.
    Conraad de Rosner is one of the first game rangers to focus on working with specially trained dogs to protect wildlife from poachers – both 'bushmeat' poachers, who use cruel snares to trap animals, and criminal syndicates killing for rhinoceros horn and capturing critically endangered pangolins, the most trafficked animal in the world.
    Con's life – constantly at risk from poachers, wildlife and even his own fellow rangers – has been saved on numerous occasions by his devoted canine companions. His first dog, Zingela, a Weimaraner, saved Con from near certain death at the hands of two fellow rangers; on another occasion, Zingela alerted Con to a concealed wounded buffalo, one of Africa's most dangerous animals, about to charge.
    When Zingela was tragically killed, hit by a car while Con was away, the only meagre consolation was that Con had kept Landa, one of the nine puppies sired by Zingela. Landa followed in his father's footsteps as the leader of the canine anti-poaching team that is still operating today. Con's story is an epic of modern-day African wildlife conservation, filled with courage, adventure and romance.

    Technology has long been a driving force in shaping the nature of employment. From the Industrial Revolution to the digital age, advancements in technology have continuously altered the way people work, the skills required, and the overall structure of industries. In today's fast-evolving world, the relationship between technology and employment is more complex than ever. While technological progress brings efficiency, innovation, and new job opportunities, it also presents significant challenges such as job displacement, skill gaps, and the need for constant adaptation. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for individuals, businesses, and policymakers as they navigate the ever-changing landscape of work. 
    The evolution of technology in the workforce has been marked by transformative shifts that redefine how labor is performed. Historically, the introduction of machines, automation, and digital tools has led to the replacement of certain manual and repetitive tasks. However, rather than eliminating jobs entirely, these changes have often resulted in the creation of new roles that require different skill sets. For example, while the rise of automated assembly lines reduced the need for traditional factory workers, it also increased demand for engineers, technicians, and software developers to maintain and improve these systems. Similarly, the widespread adoption of computers and the internet revolutionized industries by enabling remote work, e-commerce, and data-driven decision-making, further expanding employment opportunities in the digital sector.

    Receiving an HIV diagnosis can be life-altering, bringing a wave of emotions, uncertainties, and concerns about the future. Many individuals initially experience fear, confusion, or even denial, as the stigma surrounding HIV remains a significant challenge worldwide. However, the reality of living with HIV today is vastly different from what it was decades ago. Thanks to medical advancements, education, and growing awareness, people with HIV can lead long, fulfilling lives with proper treatment and care. 
    One of the most critical aspects of living with HIV is understanding that it is a manageable condition. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has transformed the outlook for those diagnosed, helping them maintain undetectable viral loads and reducing the risk of transmission. This medical breakthrough has empowered individuals to take control of their health, ensuring that an HIV diagnosis is no longer a death sentence. With adherence to treatment, many people with HIV have the same life expectancy as those without the virus. 
    Despite these advancements, stigma and discrimination continue to be significant obstacles. Misconceptions and outdated beliefs about HIV can lead to fear and isolation, affecting mental and emotional well-being. Many individuals struggle with disclosing their status due to concerns about rejection or discrimination in their personal and professional lives. Overcoming these barriers requires ongoing education and advocacy, as well as fostering a more inclusive and supportive society. Open discussions, accurate information, and strong support networks play a crucial role in breaking down these barriers.
