Are there limits to free speech - and if so, where should they be set?
In this week’s podcast, Dr Steve Davies, Head of Education at the IEA and News Editor Kate Andrews examine this question.
They take a look at free speech on social media, and at universities, where issues like ‘safe spaces’ and ‘no platforming’ are increasingly controversial.
Yet, the situation is rather more complex than it might seem.
Though, Steve argues, speech should be as free as possible - private institutions and private individuals also have a right to determine what speech they permit on their own property.
Public funding of institutions can also complicate matters, as Steve and Kate explain.
