The freedom to think what you want and to say what you think has
always generated a pushback of regulation and censorship. This
raises the thorny question: to what extent does free speech
actually endanger speech protection? This book examines today's
calls for speech legislation and places it into historical
perspective, using fascinating examples from the past 200 years, to
explain the historical context of laws regulating speech. Over
time, the freedom to speak has grown, the ways in which we
communicate have evolved due to technology, and our ideas about
speech protection have been challenged as a result. Now more than
ever, we are living in a free speech paradox: powerful speakers
weaponize their rights in order to silence those less-powerful
speakers who oppose them. By understanding how this situation has
developed, we can stand up to these threats to the freedom of
speech.
