#294 Freedom of speech under threat 🗓
23 April, 14:00 UTC+1
We see a rise of censorship across the world. Entire social media platforms are being threatened with bans in Western democracies, people face criminal charges for quoting the bible, stating biological facts, or expressing an opinion on matters of public interest.
Paul Coleman, executive director of ADF International, free speech expert and author of Censored, will explore why censorship is on the rise globally and what can be done about it.
