Socratic Society Week 10 Discussion: How Free Should Free Speech Be?

Is freedom of expression an absolute right, or must it be limited to protect harm, order, or dignity? From John Stuart Mill’s defense of near-absolute liberty in On Liberty to modern debates about hate speech and misinformation, the boundaries of speech remain contested.
Join the Socratic Society in room CATS118 as we debate where limits, if any, should be drawn, who decides them, and what is at stake for a free society.
