Freedom of the press, the First Amendment.
Teddy PanosHOST
Weren't these all the talking points a month ago?
Evan LipsGUEST
Oh, yeah.
Trymaine LeeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So the First Amendment enshrines protections for religious pluralism, prevents the state from creating a kind of state religion.
Trymaine LeeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And then there are protections for freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom to petition the government for the redress of wrongs.
Trymaine LeeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
A healthy democracy is one that not only tolerates, but even encourages dissent.

Mike DunbarHOST
John Sansom in the book, Samson in the TV show, don't know why.
Mike DunbarHOST
he survives uh and at the end of it that whole secret is effectively buried so what richard kind of does is doesn't let the truth come out allows the truth to be hidden effectively helps sansom i guess do his evil misdeeds i'm simplifying it it's probably slightly different in the book but the end result is he's kind of aided and abetted an american government cover-up of information that a journalist could if they found it freedom of the press uh released if they wanted to The TV show changed that, I think, for the better.
Rory James O'TooleHOST

So William comes back with those ideas in his head in 1824, just after Macquarie has died, and he was at the deathbed of Lachlan Macquarie.
Christopher ReynoldsGUEST
So he's come back to cause trouble, and he's brought a printing press with him.
12 MINS LATER
Christopher ReynoldsGUEST
He comes back convinced that there needs to be more power to the people, that people, there needs to be an elected parliament.
Christopher ReynoldsGUEST

Christopher ReynoldsGUEST
Freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
Christopher ReynoldsGUEST
Um, People should be able to represent themselves.
Frank SalvatoHOST
the consumer.
Frank SalvatoHOST
I know they scream First Amendment, freedom of the press, this, that, and the other.
Frank SalvatoHOST
Well, blatantly lying is not freedom of the press.
Frank SalvatoHOST
We've gotten to a point, and don't get me wrong, I am a staunch First Amendment guy.
Frank SalvatoHOST
You need to be able to redress government.
WadeHOST
So internationally, the consequences extend even further.
WadeHOST
For decades, the United States has at least officially promoted press freedom as a defining democratic value.
WadeHOST
You know, we have politicians all the time talk about how great the First Amendment is.
WadeHOST
Even Trump and MAGA will claim that they are First Amendment champions.

I therefore demand that Politico retracted these defamatory articles and issue corrections promptly or face the consequences.

accountability.

Esther IveremHOST
And so I'm glad that we're back on our horse.
Esther IveremHOST
Well, there's actually some breaking news this mid to late October in terms of press freedom, freedom of the press, freedom of speech.
Esther IveremHOST
I think October 20th, Breakthrough News received a letter from Representative Jason Smith of the House Ways and Means Committee threatening, and I'm reading from a piece that they wrote, threatening to personally subpoena seven members of the journalistic, editorial, and administrative staff, including Rania Khalek, Zoe Alexandra, and Amanda Yee, unless they handed over financial records and internal communications.
Esther IveremHOST
And through its attorneys, Breakthrough News just issued an official response which read in part, quote, threatening compulsory depositions of journalists and newsroom staff to compel document production operates as a coercive retaliation by explicitly targeting the core editorial leadership and journalistic staff of Breakthrough News.
Esther IveremHOST
Allowing a congressional committee to haul journalists into deposition rooms to grill them on domestic and foreign policy reporting sets a dangerous precedent of state-sponsored press intimidation that chills independent journalism nationwide and infringes on core First Amendment protections, end quote.
Esther IveremHOST
Then also at the same time, a coalition of press freedom and civil liberties organizations is criticizing this move by the House Ways and Means Committee and asking them to abandon this threat to subpoena the staffers.
Esther IveremHOST
And the letter from the coalition, and this was spearheaded by the Freedom of the Press Foundation and written by their chief of advocacy, Seth Stern, said, quote, Representative Smith's shameless targeting of breakthrough news for editorial viewpoints that he dislikes shows a complete disregard of the First Amendment.
Esther IveremHOST
Congress has many more important things to do than interrogate an entire nonprofit newsroom because lawmakers speculate that disagreement with their opinions must evidence a conspiracy.
Mykola SiuskoGUEST
Well, they could really exchange so many primitives from cryptographic primitives to tools, application, habits, FOSS.
Mykola SiuskoGUEST
um that we called it united in privacy and we saw many people who on twitter would fight with each other but at the conference they really saw that oh they're using the same vpn they're using the same browsers they really use the same communal tools and suddenly instead of fighting with each other there's a strong unity you can even call a potential movement that can be built Next to people from Freedom of the Press, people from Electronic Frontier Foundation, head of cybersecurity was there.
Mykola SiuskoGUEST
Next to Kurt Opsal, who was legal counselor of EFF for 20 or 10 years.
Mykola SiuskoGUEST
