When Does Speech About Crimes Become a Crime?

Summary: In today's episode of the Reason Podcast, Volokh Conspirator and University of California, Los Angeles, law professor Eugene Volokh and Reason Editor in Chief Katherine Mangu-Ward ponder the question: What is the difference between this month's edition of Reason magazine and The Anarchist Cookbook? We wade elbow-deep into some juicy questions about "crime-facilitating speech"—a term coined by Volokh in a 2005 paper—how it applies to the Burn After Reading issue and other questions of journalistic ethics. The podcast also digs into hypotheticals about source protection, white-hat hacking, national security, doxxing, and whether it's legit to flash your headlights to warn fellow drivers about an upcoming speed trap.
