By Napa Legal


Big Tech’s censorship of religious voices has continued. Napa Legal joins the Ethics and Public Policy Center to continue spotlighting this issue in an event discussing How Big Tech Censors Religious Voices, How to Fight Back

In this special online event from the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) and Napa Legal, EPPC Policy Analyst Clare Morell interviews EPPC President Ryan. T. Anderson, EPPC Fellow Carl R. Trueman, and Napa Legal Vice President Josh Holdenried on their own experiences with Big Tech’s censorship, as well as overall trends and patterns in how religious voices are being targeted. They also discuss what religious organizations and individuals can do to protect themselves, as well as possible policy solutions to Big Tech’s censorship.
