I was honoured to be the moderator of an important discussion on freedom of speech at the 2023 Blue Metropolis International Literary Festival in Montreal. [https://bluemetropolis.org/event/freedom-of-speech-propaganda-and-cacophony/]
The discussion focused on the challenges facing the fundamental human right of freedom of expression in the age of social media, ongoing government attempts at repression, and corporate control of communication resources.
I have published on this and related questions for over thirty years and it continues to be one of my main concerns.
