Australia vs. Facebook & Free Speech in the Digital Age

First, we discuss Facebook’s response to an Australian law that would compel search and social media platforms to pay news organizations for linking to their content with guest Chris Zappone, Digital Foreign Editor at Australia’s The Age and Sydney Morning Herald. Second, we listen in on a panel discussion on free speech in the digital age hosted by Betaworks Studios as part of its Betalab: Fix The Internet program. Moderated by Betalab Researcher-in-Residence Yaël  Eisenstat, includes David Kaye, a clinical professor of law at the University of California, Irvine and former United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, along with Nora Benavidez the director of U.S. Free Expression Programs at PEN America.
