Top Five at Risk : Freedom of Speech

From Ukraine, to Uganda, to the UK,

our freedom of speech is under threat now more than ever.

The spread of misinformation and increasingly extreme attitudes on social media drown out rational debate and journalism across the world. Some authors describe how Western media narratives are rapidly moving from centrist attitude towards a more right-wing bias.

Some also claim,

censorship of political opponents is becoming more widespread.

Add to this the alleged media bias in otherwise democratic nations, and it becomes clear why freedom of speech advocates are beginning to panic.

 This is a topic being discussed more every day, and the story will have changed again by the time you’ve read this blog post. Want to keep learning?

Our favourite expert on this topic is the fascinating Sam Fowles.
