This episode features Jennifer Ange, STLR Staffer, talking with
Dr. Moran Yemini about the freedom of speech in the new digital
age.
In his recent article published on STLR, Dr. Yemini argues that the
digital age presents a new irony of free speech. The popular
concept that the Internet promotes freedom of expression may be too
simplistic. In his view, the Internet, while it strengthens our
capacity of expression, also limits the liberty aspect of
expression.
Dr. Yemini received his Ph.D. in Law from the University of Haifa,
where he is also a Senior Fellow at the Center for Cyber, Law &
Policy. He is currently a Visiting Fellow at the Information
Society Project at Yale Law School, and at the Digital Life
Initiative at Cornell Tech. Dr Yemini’s article THE NEW
IRONY OF FREE SPEECH can be found in our most recent issue. To
