What can be done to stop growing censorship of the internet? Robert Winterton will lead a discussion about what needs to be done to slow growing censorship of free speech online around the world, from laws that force social media sites to censor on the government’s behalf, to those that directly penalize individuals for political speech. Stephen Kent will bring insights from a closely-themed breakout session, tying those stories into a broader critique of global trends. Marcel Van Hattem will tell his own story of how laws allegedly aimed at making the internet safer have been used to censor people and silence political dissent.
