If we have Internet access, any one of\u003cbr\u003e\n us can publish almost anything we like and potentially reach an \u003cbr\u003e\naudience of millions. Never was there a time when the evils of unlimited\u003cbr\u003e\n speech flowed so easily across frontiers: violent intimidation, gross \u003cbr\u003e\nviolations of privacy, tidal waves of abuse. A pastor burns a Koran in \u003cbr\u003e\nFlorida and UN officials die in Afghanistan.Drawing on a lifetime\u003cbr\u003e\n of writing about dictatorships and dissidents, Timothy Garton Ash \u003cbr\u003e\nargues that in this connected world that he calls cosmopolis, the way to\u003cbr\u003e\n combine freedom and diversity is to have more but also better free \u003cbr\u003e\nspeech. Across all cultural divides we must strive to agree on how we \u003cbr\u003e\ndisagree. He draws on a thirteen-language global online project - freespeechdebate.com - conducted out of Oxford University and devoted to doing just that.With\u003cbr\u003e\n vivid examples, from his personal experience of China's Orwellian \u003cbr\u003e\ncensorship apparatus to the controversy around Charlie Hebdo to a very \u003cbr\u003e\nEnglish court case involving food writer Nigella Lawson, he proposes a \u003cbr\u003e\nframework for civilized conflict in a world where we are all becoming \u003cbr\u003e\nneighbours.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timothy Garton Ash","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44223542296636,"sku":"9781848870925","price":1987.5,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/free-speech-ten-principles-for-a-conned-world-9781848870925.jpg?v=1776770870","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/free-speech-ten-principles-for-a-conned-world","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
