Jack Stine’s nemesis Elon Musk is facing the music in Australia over how he moderates content on Twitter, now known (only by Elon) as X. The unpaid fines are piling up, and could lead to a country-wide ban of the platform.

Jack Stine sees it as a major threat to free speech, and Spike O’Neill is reminded of the free speech protections he’s grateful we have here in America.

Tune in live to The Jack and Spike Show weekdays from noon to 3pm on KIRO Newsradio 97.3 FM. And if that timing, or our location in western Washington is inconvenient for you, we also have a daily podcast of the show.
