Navigating Free Speech in the Digital Age
This chapter examines the complexities of free speech in relation to online platforms, with a focus on how harmful discourse disproportionately impacts marginalized voices, particularly women. It critiques the notion of the 'marketplace of ideas' in the U.S., arguing that it often suppresses diverse perspectives while empowering dominant narratives. By exploring historical and contemporary issues surrounding women's voices in legal and societal contexts, the chapter underscores the urgent need to reassess our understanding of free speech amid rising toxic online interactions.
