New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.

The right only care about "free speech" when it is their preferred speech in question.
Popular Information compiled a list of 22 actions taken by the Trump admin that "undermine the principle of freedom of speech," from targeting The Associated Press to deleting websites to gutting VOA to stripping books from shelves. Here's the list:
The state of free speech in Trump's America
A central promise of President Trump’s 2024 campaign was that, if elected, he would “restore free speech.” In September 2024, at a campaign rally in Wisconsin, Trump said, “I will bring back free spee...
