Do we really have free expression?
This book is a sharp, unapologetic examination of how speech, press, religion, and assembly are restricted by the government.
Drawing from extensive research and real-world experience, Alu Axelman exposes the attacks on free expression across dozens of areas most people never consider.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- How speech is regulated across obscenity, comedy, media, threats, “misinformation,” and defamation
- The hidden controls on expression, from licensing laws and employment restrictions to compelled speech, retaliation, and censorship
- How intellectual property, advertising rules, national security claims, and other rationales limit who can speak and how
From courtrooms to classrooms, from protests to professional licenses, from jokes to “dangerous” ideas, this book forces you to confront a simple truth:
No one is a true free speech absolutist.
By the end, you won’t see the First Amendment or your own beliefs the same way again.
And yes, Alu offers solutions.
