THREAD: So @vox writer @seanilling just said that ppl like me worry too much about #freespeech b/c “speech has never been freer.” Bizarre assertion in 2020. Speech was probably freer in 2005 before the "democratic recession" began, but it was certainly freer in, say, 2015. (1/65)
It’s important to address this because there’s been a trend in “nothing to see here,” thinly sourced stories claiming that nobody should really worry about free speech, Cancel Culture, or any of these themes. (2/65)
So, where to begin?
First, I'll start with the global picture, but don't worry, I'll get to my specialty, censorship in US higher education, later in this thread.
Bottomline: The situation for global #freespeech has gotten worse this year & over the past several years (3/65)
