Free Speech
Rep. Davidson: Arrest of Telegram founder underscores the value of our First Amendment rights
Representative Warren Davidson (R-OH) says our Bill of Rights is not a grant of rights but a limitation of government to take away our God-given rights, like free speech. “The reality is, most governments around the world aren’t good governments. They don’t defend freedom. They limit it,” he says. “And you look at the European Union sending threats to Elon Musk for having a televised interview with Donald Trump, how crazy is that. And now the CEO of a messaging platform, Telegram, lands his plane in France and he’s detained, he’s in jail right now because he’s allowing people to speak.”
