هل حرية التعبير مهددة؟

Two prominent thinkers offer alternative answers to one of the most difficult and controversial questions of our time: [_Is free speech under threat?_](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/784280/is-free-speech-under-threat-by-suzanne-nossel-and-charlotte-lydia-riley/9781529935714) Suzanne argues Nossel, CEO of PEN America, the leading free speech organization, said that along with the necessary and overdue lift-up of minority voices in recent years, there has also been a relentless intolerance — particularly on college campuses and online — that wrongly links a broad spectrum of offensive speech to violence, and seeks to silence it. This has led to an escalating arms race in freedom of expression, in which everyone loses. Charlotte Lydia Reilly, a historian of empire and editor of The Free Speech Wars, argues that accusations of cancel culture and defense of free speech are often overblown. Disingenuous attempts to ignite a culture war, thus derailing an important realignment in which hate speech is exposed for what it is, and the right to free expression is expanded to include more people than ever before. Published in collaboration with Intelligence Squared, the world's leading debate organization, this book is part of the Think Again series: short books that present two contrasting but equally compelling expert viewpoints in one volume that can be read from either end.
