Daedalus 153:03 Summer 2024: The Future of Free Speech
Radical changes in how we communicate with each other and the ease of manipulating audiences have put our shared principles of free speech at risk.
But have Americans lost their appetite for open and constructive dialogue? Or has the rallying cry of “freedom of speech” itself been repurposed to censor and disempower?
“The Future of Free Speech” explores the complexity and conflicts of the moment, and reminds us that it takes continued practice and determination to live in a society that embraces free and open discourse and disagreement.
