Global Free Speech Summit, Vanderbilt, Oct. 17-18

[Jim__]

1. Do you know if any of the speakers is an expert on the threats to free speech that misinformation and disinformation ...

... pose?

I think that, historically, government has always posed the biggest threat to free speech. And, of course, it still does pose a major threat. But, misinformation, disinformation, and violent threats from cliques on the internet seem to have the potential to drown out all attempts at civil speech, all attempts at communicating information. A lot of free speech advocates seem not to recognize what I would consider the latest threat to free speech. Do you know if that will be a topic of discussion at this summit?
