The Digital Iron Curtain

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 10:08:00 +0000

This podcast episode moves beyond the headlines to explore the launch of Freedom.gov and the rising global tension over digital control.

It dissects the "weaponization of empathy"—how noble goals like "protecting children" are being used in the UK and EU to justify expansive surveillance. Is the US counter-response a genuine shield for liberty, or a strategic move in an election year?

It takes a deep dive into the transatlantic divide, analyzing how the UK and EU’s shift toward safety-first mandates creates a friction point with the American tradition of protected speech.

It discusses why free speech must remain the foundation of trust in a digital society, and how to protect the open exchange of ideas against the encroachment of safety-first mandates.
