The End of Free Speech In Europe (And why everyone should be concerned…)

This is my recent speech from Lugano Plan ₿ Forum where I discussed the escalating free speech crisis across Europe. I explore how Switzerland’s famed neutrality is challenged by new authoritarian trends, exemplified by the prosecution of Emmanuel Brunischolz for a social media post, and draw parallels with Germany’s raids on online speech, French digital censorship, and Britain’s growing crackdown on jokes, memes, and even silent prayer. I also delve into historical precedents of European censorship, from blasphemy laws to the Inquisition, and highlight why Bitcoin and cryptography represent crucial new frontiers in the ongoing fight for liberty. Whether you care about digital rights, liberty, or decentralisation, this talk underscores the urgent need to protect every remaining territory of freedom in the face of modern censorship.
