ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Speech online has transformed the way our society functions. Digital technologies allow us the freedom to express ourselves and connect with others. But as we’ve witnessed, they’ve also been used as tools to promote hateful content. The question is: how do we protect free speech while making sure they aren’t used as tools to spread hate or misinformation?
Tamara Small is an associate professor at the University of Guelph in the department of political science. She has spent over 15 years studying digital politics in Canada.
Our host, Mohit Rajhans, speaks with Tamara about the future of free speech online.
