Regulating Free Speech in a Digital Age

Exploring the tension between free expression and the need for societal protection, this book examines the implications of hateful rhetoric, particularly in the context of the March 2019 terrorist attack on mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. It argues that while governments cannot dictate personal beliefs, they must take action against harmful communication that incites discrimination and violence, emphasizing the responsibility of open democracies to safeguard their citizens from such threats.
