Should 'Freedom of Speech' be Absolute?
Ask yourself: should hate speech be permitted on Twitter, or violent threats on Facebook? In the age of social media and global connectedness, publishing and consuming media is effortless. But as free rein dominates, many find themselves asking whether a threshold is necessary to eliminate incorrect, harmful, and distasteful information. Who's responsible for enforcing these regulations? Where do we draw the ethical line? And what happens when mistakes are made? Join me on Thursday evening to map out the subjective definition of contemporary free speech.
