The Rise of ‘Hate Speech’ Policing in Europe

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

Free speech is increasingly under attack on college campuses -- but if you think it’s bad here, look across the pond to Europe. Authorities over there are increasingly cracking down on so-called “hate speech” -- a label that’s been applied to speech critical of Islam, homosexuality, and more. Paul Coleman, a British attorney who’s had a front row seat to this concerning trend, explains the origin of these hate speech laws and give his assessment about the future of free speech.

We also cover these stories:
• President Donald Trump says Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib should not be allowed to visit Israel.
• Hundreds of Chinese paramilitary forces gathered for drills in Shenzhen on Thursday, just across the border from Hong Kong.
• Reports about the autopsy of Jeffrey Epstein find a curious fact about the condition of his body.
