Moon recognizes that the social character of individual agency and identity is crucial to understanding not only the value of expression but also its potential for harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book considers a range of issues, including the regulation of advertising, hate speech, pornography, blasphemy, and public protest. The book also considers the shift to social media as the principal platform for public engagement, which has added to the ways in which speech can be harmful, while undermining the effectiveness of traditional legal responses to harmful speech. \u003cem\u003eThe Life and Death of Freedom of Expression\u003c\/em\u003e makes the case that the principal threat to public discourse may no longer be censorship, but rather the spread of disinformation, which undermines public trust in traditional sources of information and makes engagement between different positions and groups increasingly difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Moon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487527829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487527822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Richard Moon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45898732011775,"sku":"9781487527822","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_594db12d-60a9-4433-8f37-ceb7c4e4ee1e.jpg?v=1721376969","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/life-and-death-of-freedom-richard-moon-9781487527822","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
