    328: ‘The scale of censorship is insane’ | Greg Lukianoff on Britain’s speech police

    This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Greg Lukianoff. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked

    Is the UK a free country any more? An estimated nine people per day are arrested for making offensive comments online. In fact, more people had their collars felt in Britain for speech crimes in 2015 and 2016 than were arrested in the US during the entirety of First Red Scare. Here, Greg Lukianoff – president of the US’s Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression – warns that laws against so-called hate speech, and the elite panic over ‘misinformation’, have given licence to the British state to trample on our liberties. He also discusses the Trumpian threat to free speech, the explosion of campus censorship in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war, and what it really means to ‘incite violence’.
