Abstract

This panel features debates about the normative ramifications of digital social media practices. It includes questions such as the value of (free) speech in the context of limited (online) audiences, the value of democratic engagement as mediated by specific social media algorithms, the regulation of privately owned media corporations, and the impact of Gen-AI technologies on deliberative practices. Papers on other topics in free speech are also welcome e.g. hate speech, counterspeech, misinformation, no platforming, social coercion, private regulation etc
