Yes.

hclasvegas: WHO is the greatest threat to free speech?

If, by "WHO," you're referring to the interrogative pronoun, why have you changed your claim from democracy to free speech?

And if you're referring to the interrogative pronoun, then the answer is: a second Trump administration.

Bannon, just this week said that during a second Trump administration promises to go after a free press were “not just rhetoric” and that they are “absolutely dead serious” about seeking revenge against journalists. Kash Patel, who is rumored to be at the top of the list for Attorney General in a second Trump administration, told Bannon that a re-empowered Trump would indeed “come after” the press.

As for Bhattacharya, his co-authored paper, advancing the theory that people could achieve herd immunity against COVID-19 without vaccines, was widely criticized for statistical and methodological errors. In the law suit he joined, Murthy v. Missouri, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a range of government agencies, including the Health and Human Services Department, the State Department, and cybersecurity officials, were prohibited from influencing social media companies’ content-moderation policies and is now on the U.S. Supreme Court docket.

At the time, Google, a private company, wrote: “We have strict publisher policies that prohibit content promoting anti-vaccine theories, Covid-19 misinformation, and false claims about the 2020 U.S. Presidential elections.”

Stay tuned. We'll see the court's ruling this summer.

But yeah, for most dangerous to democracy, freedom of speech, and the world at large, I still go with the finger rapist who is guilty of business fraud, encouraged Russia to invade the EU, stole and refused to return top secret military intelligence, quotes Hitler, and says that Jews who don't vote for him hate Israel and their religion.
