I just read my @ucilaw colleague @davidakaye's forthcoming short book, Speech Police: The Global Struggle to Govern the Internet. I highly recommend its cross-national perspective on clash between free expression and spread of disinformation and hate /1 amazon.com/Speech-Police-…
David's book so nicely illustrates the lack of easy solutions. Not top-down content moderation from social media companies, not AI, and certainly not government intervention in speech online, which has become a tool for repression not protection against dangerous speech. /2
David tries to end the book on a hopeful note, and does a great job presenting the questions. But it leaves me feeling like social media can facilitate violence and undermine democracy, while government regulation presents risks of repression and squelching of liberty. 3/3
