📽️ WATCH: @JMchangama discusses "Free Speech and Equality: Friends or Foes?" for @vanderbiltlaw's Dean’s Lecture Series on Race and Discrimination. youtube.com/watch?v=q1niWQ…
An Australian court issued an injunction requiring @X to censor a video on the site—not just in Australia, but anywhere in the world. reason.com/2024/04/26/aus…
Local hostility to free speech may become a global problem as grasping Australian politicians demand control over what everyone, everywhere can see. reason.com/2024/04/26/aus… via @reason
Milton´s Curse is strong on @X these days. I never cease to be amazed at how adept human beings are at constructing elaborate arguments for why free speech is essential, only just not for specific ideas that just so happen to be ones that those cursed disagree with.
In my recent Dean´s Series lecture at @vanderbiltlaw I show why free speech and equality are friends, not foes and why unpopular minorities depend on free speech and are endangered by even well-intentioned restrictions on this freedom. law.vanderbilt.edu/deans-lecture-…
Note that Abbott seems to suggest that protestors should be arrested for expressing ideas, NOT their conduct. A perfect example of why viewpoint discrimination is dangerous and will always be defined and enforced by those in power. Principled free speech is the antidote.

The principle of presumption of innocence also applies to administrative offence proceedings. The way this is expressed sounds as a violation of article 6 of the Convention.

A few days ago German authorities banned a pro-Palestinian conference in Berling. Today the police in Brussels shut down a nationalist-conservative summit. Free speech and dissent are really thriving in democratic Europe....politico.eu/article/brusse…
4/ This is not an isolated incident. Speech restrictions are mushrooming in European democracies (and non European democracies too). This is not a development to be copied in the US.
3/ and then preemptively banning a high profile foreign politician from (a) entering the country and (b) addressing the conference virtually!! This is the application of crude censorship in Europe´s largest democracy.
