Free Speech in the Digital Age
«This is a valuable book. Not least because of the quality of research contained in each chapter, both philosophical and applied. But also, and perhaps more significantly, for what it achieves by putting these scholars in conversation both with the extant literature and with the fast-moving world-changing forces of the digital age.»
Gregory Whitfield, Criminal Law and Philosophy
This collection of thirteen new essays is the first to examine, from a range of disciplinary perspectives, how the new technologies and global reach of the Internet are changing the theory and practice of free speech. Les mer
freedom of expression, developed in the age of the town square and the printing press, apply in the digital age? Should search engines be covered by free speech principles? How should international conflicts over online speech regulations be resolved? Is there a right to be forgotten that is at odds with
the right to free speech? How has the Internet facilitated new speech-based harms such as cyber-stalking, twitter-trolling, and revenge porn, and how should these harms be addressed?
The contributors to this groundbreaking volume include philosophers, legal theorists, political scientists, communications scholars, public policy makers, and activists.
