Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a known critic of Big Tech’s influence, recently faced an attempt by House Democrats to prevent his testimony in a subcommittee investigating censorship. The Democrats’ move, led by Congresswoman Deborah Wasserman-Schultz, was framed as a response to controversial comments by Kennedy, but many are seeing it as a strategy to silence his campaign message. However, the attempt to stifle Kennedy fell flat. His stand against censorship resonates with many Americans, across party lines, raising the stakes for the 2024 election. This incident highlights the vital questions we face today about free speech, the influence of technology on our society, and the health of our democracy.
