Regulating Free Speech in a Digital Age: Hate, Harm, and the Limits of Censorship

Are you concerned about the impact of hateful thoughts and words on our society? The recent terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand served as a stark reminder that harmful communication can lead to real-world violence. As a citizen of a free and democratic society, you may believe in the importance of protecting our right to freedom of expression, but what about the responsibility to shield citizens from incitement to discrimination and violence?

Introducing our groundbreaking book by a renowned public policy advisor. With deep insights into internet governance and the challenges surrounding freedom of speech, this book is a must-read for policy makers and professionals working for governmental institutions. It delves into the complex task of striking a balance between protecting individuals from harm while preserving their right to express themselves.

But this book goes beyond theoretical discussions. It recognizes that passing laws alone won't solve the intricate social problems we face in the digital age. Governments need to invest, not just regulate. They must collaborate with big tech, the private sector, civil society, individual citizens, and the fourth estate. Only by working together can we tackle hate speech, cancel culture, and the erosion of civility.

Our book is not just a call for action; it provides pragmatic solutions. By presenting effective counter-speech strategies, it offers alternatives to censorship and criminalization. This principled pragmatism is what sets our book apart. We believe that every individual has a role to play in shaping a safer and more respectful online world.
