Corporations and free speech

In this podcast episode, the discussion centers on the complex interplay between free speech, corporate ethics, and the limits of power across different industries. Through case studies like Scott McIntyre and Antoinette Latouf, it sheds light on the hurdles journalists face in public broadcasting. Bornstein critiques how controversial opinions are managed in corporate settings, pointing out that brand image often takes precedence over true ethical considerations, as illustrated by the Israel Folau incident and other instances of corporate influence. He also addresses the consequences of restrictive employment contracts and the challenges of consensual workplace relationships, ultimately calling for the safeguarding of democratic rights and respect for employees' choices in both their professional and personal lives.
