Is Free Speech under Threat?

This book, part of the THINK AGAIN series, presents contrasting views from Suzanne Nossel and Charlotte Lydia Riley on the state of free speech.

Nossel argues that the elevation of minority voices has led to an uncompromising intolerance that wrongly equates offensive speech with violence, resulting in an escalating free speech arms race.

Riley counters that accusations of cancel culture and defenses of free speech are often disingenuous attempts to fuel a culture war, inhibiting a necessary realignment where hateful speech is called out and the right to free expression is extended to more people.
