Expanding the boundaries of public debate. Subscribe to https://t.co/vnapx6XyXK Come to #Battlefest - https://t.co/XR6QciHa2J
Adina Portaru @Adina_PortaruExcited to speak about the importance of free speech at this year's @acadofideas in Berlin. 📷We must stand against censorship and reaffirm the centrality of open debate, dialogue and democracy.
Academy of Ideas @acadofideasA key part of any #BATTLEFEST event is exploring how to win the fight for free speech! Almost half of Germans in a recent survey said it is ‘better to be cautious’ about sharing political opinions and supported restrictions on controversial or provocative statements such as ‘Soldiers are murderers’ or ‘Women belong in the kitchen’. What is driving Germany’s free-speech crisis? Is it primarily top-down, or are broader social pressures at work? Is every restriction simply censorship by another name, or are there legitimate red lines that should never be crossed? Where should the boundaries lie around insult, defamation and slander? And to defend free expression, do we need to repeal inappropriate criminal laws, introduce stronger protections for speech, or rebuild a culture confident enough to tolerate disagreement?

Heidi Bachram @HeidiBachramNOW: City University pro-Pals are screeching “Ben Gad out of here” referring to an Israeli professor they’re targeting for no other reason than his nationality. Will @CityStGeorges protect him? This is xenophobic harassment.

Andrew Doyle @andrewdoyle_comThe UK government’s draft Conversion Practices Bill is a draconian intrusion into family life. My latest for the @DailyMail.
