Description
Is Free Speech Under Threat? challenges the popular narrative that free speech is in crisis. Charlotte Lydia Riley, a respected historian and commentator, cuts through the noise to examine what is actually happening to free expression in contemporary society.
Rather than accepting claims at face value, Riley investigates the real threats and perceived threats to free speech, distinguishing between genuine concerns and exaggerated fears. She explores how different groups experience free speech differently, from journalists and activists to ordinary citizens navigating social media and institutional constraints.
This book offers a balanced perspective on censorship, cancel culture, government restrictions, and corporate control of speech. By grounding the discussion in historical context and empirical evidence, Riley provides readers with the tools to think critically about free speech debates and understand the nuances often lost in polarized discussions.
