Free Speech Is Back!

Helen Lewis and Armando Iannucci celebrate the return of free speech to social media, by getting under the hood of Meta's new fact-checking policy. Is free speech really back?

Comedy writer Armando Iannucci and journalist Helen Lewis decode the utterly baffling world of political language.

This week, Helen and Armando take a deep dive into Mark Zuckerberg's statement which explains the new rules around fact checking and free speech on his Meta platforms. Is free speech really back? Or should we be worried that fact-checkers are a thing of the past?
