Let's Talk Free Speech

Chapel Phil

Tune in to this episode to hear Aidan, Marcella and Samad discuss free speech in today's democracy. How do we balance pillars of democracy like free speech in a digital world? How does democracy work for the people? How do we manage the marketplace of ideas today? Why are people banned on Twitter? Most importantly, should Aidan just become dictator?
