USA is Fighting Back! The Online Safety Act Hits a Wall

Show Notes

Lawyer Preston Byrne explains his multi-front legal strategy to combat foreign censorship laws targeting American citizens and companies. He details the Granite Act - groundbreaking legislation that would impose massive financial penalties on foreign governments attempting to censor constitutionally protected American speech. Byrne reveals how the UK's Online Safety Act recently derailed a $40 billion US-UK trade deal, and discusses ongoing efforts in Wyoming, New Hampshire, and federally to protect First Amendment rights from extraterritorial enforcement. This is a masterclass in defensive legal strategy against international digital tyranny.
