FSC Round Table: Is Big Tech a Threat to Free Speech?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the wake of the Capitol Hill riot on the 6th of January, American tech companies removed Donald Trump from a number of the most globally popular social media sites. In the following days thousands of other accounts were suspended or banned, with the fallout reaching to a number of mostly right wing New Zealand accounts.
But is this really a threat to free speech? What are the legal or political ramifications? And what can New Zealanders even do about it?
We have brought together a panel of free speech experts to get to the heart of this issue, including Stephen Franks, Liam Hehír, Ani O'Brian, and Damian Grant.
