Summary |
Offers a road map for controlling disinformation, embracing free speech, saving American elections, and protecting democracy. With insight into the current debates over free speech, censorship, and Big Tech's responsibilities, Hasen proposes legal and social measures to restore Americans' access to reliable information on which democracy depends. In an era when quack COVID treatments and bizarre QAnon theories have entered the mainstream, this book explains how to assure both freedom of ideas and a commitment to truth. --Adapted from publisher description. |
