“Freedom of speech is a basic prerequisite for a functioning democratic society. Understanding the importance of and safeguarding this freedom in a time when hate and disinformation is prevalent, especially on social media, is therefore of huge importance. We are happy to support The Future of Free Speech in their work to explore various methods to tackle disinformation, hate and extremism without restricting freedom of speech.”
