The Remedy for Bad Speech Is More Speech

Evelyn Dewick is an assistant professor of law at Stanford Law School and a host of the Moderated Content Podcast. She's one of the leading voices in the field about what it means to leave questions of free speech up to major social media platforms. When it seemed like Facebook and Twitter were fueling the Arab Spring by allowing so many people to post on their platforms, she says they're right to be suspicious. The idea that the more speech, the better, and the remedy for bad speech is more speech is an American First Amendment exceptionalism.
