In the first of a three-part series on the topic of freedom Audrey Carville and a panel of guests discuss ‘what do we mean by freedom?’
Is it freedom from government regulation or freedom from discrimination? Freedom to have an abortion, own a gun, or the freedom to ban both?
And is a society where there are no restraints as dystopian as one where our every action is controlled?
Also on the programme, we all have a right to freedom of expression, but that doesn’t mean free speech. What’s the difference and when does freedom of expression run afoul of the law?
In an increasingly tech driven world, how does what we say online affect our right to express how we feel?
Legal expert Joshua Rozenberg discusses what happens when free speech and cancel culture collide.
