Free speech in the internet age

from The WebRoots Democracy Podcast · host WebRoots Democracy

The line between free speech and hate speech has become harder to define and enforce in the Internet age. Has the concept of free speech fundamentally changed? Is content moderation the same as censorship? How can we protect free speech whilst clamping down on incitements to violence in an online world? We explored these questions with Charlotte Jee (MIT Technology Review), Jamie Bartlett (author of The People vs Tech and host of The Missing Cryptoqueen), and Alex Krasodomski-Jones (Director, Centre for the Analysis of Social Media). This discussion took place during the WebRoots Democracy Festival in November 2020.
