The Free Speech Fight

Available for over a year

A special edition exploring the collision zone between free speech and criminal activity with a focus on two stories out of the US. After a week of violent clashes and soul searching in Charlottesville, big internet giants step in and quell the voice of one notorious website. We talk to one person who campaigned to have the website shut down, and another who wrote for it. And, a classified ads site accused of facilitating sex trafficking has prompted action for a change in US law. Critics say if the law goes through it could result in an attack on free speech on the internet.
