Jane Bambauer and I had the pleasure of hosting Jacob Mchangama, CEO of The Future of Free Speech, for an insightful discussion. Jacob is a research professor of political science at Vanderbilt, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, and a renowned expert in comparative free speech law.
