The Life and Death of Freedom of Expression

Richard Moon in conversation with David Schneiderman

In his new book, The Life and Death of Freedom of Expression, Richard Moon, explores how social media has added to the ways speech can be harmful, while also undermining traditional legal protections. While calls for greater censorship are growing, Moon suggests the biggest threat may be disinformation. What can be done? Join Richard Moon in his conversation about these issues with David Schneiderman, Professor of Law and Political Science at the University of Toronto.
