(Online) 7/10 (Sat.) Trump v. Techs--the Borderline of Freedom of Speech? (Lewis Lu)

文章 Lewis Lu »

Hi everyone,

This Saturday we will be discussing a controversial issue around our life and politics: Freedom of speech.

This Wednesday (7/7/2021) former U.S president Trump announced a class action lawsuit against Facebook, Twitter and Google claiming anti-conservative bias.

Here is the news link from The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... le-lawsuit

After reading the news, take a deep breath, and feel free to share your thoughts.

Session 1: News-related discussions

1) What were the causes that Trump sued the Tech Giants?

2) Do you think those Tech Giants can be served as "content gatekeepers" in our society? Why or why not?

3) Which sides do you support? Trump or Tech Giants? What are your arguments?

Session 2: Fundamental debates

1) What kind of contents should be (or could be) regulated? Why?

2) Can anyone regulate (or censor) the content? Who can regulate the content?

3) Censorship versus freedom of speech, how do we draw the line between them?

Agenda:
3:50 ~ 4:00 pm Zoom App testing and setup / Free Talk
4:00 ~ 4:10 pm Opening Remarks / Newcomer’s Self-introduction
