Free speech and online harm

AntiSocial

Available for over a year

Hopefuls for the Conservative Party leadership have been talking about the Online Safety Bill.

A comedian and an academic discuss. Presenter: Adam Fleming Producers: Chloe Hadjimatheou & Lucy Proctor Researchers: Ellie House & Octavia Woodward Production Coordinator: Brenda Brown Studio Manager: Chris Murphy Music: Oskar Jones Editor: Emma Rippon
