About the video:
In this engaging discussion, we delve into the complex terrain of free speech, examining its fundamental importance and the nuanced debate around its limitations in both online and in-person contexts. We explore the pivotal role of free speech in liberal democracy, the government's responsibilities, and the contentious issue of absolute free speech. Additionally, we discuss the intricate balance between truth and offense, the potential necessity of offense in conveying truth, and the impact of de-platforming by private companies. Join us as we navigate these critical conversations, shedding light on figures like Kathleen Stock and the challenges of defending free speech in today's society.
