Digital Speech Control

"Digital Speech Control" examines the growing dilemma of how European governments regulate online speech, particularly during periods of civil unrest. It navigates the complex intersection of social media regulation, freedom of expression, and the state's role in maintaining public order.

The book reveals that while governments aim to curb misinformation and incitement to violence, these interventions often risk infringing upon fundamental rights and stifling legitimate dissent. For instance, content removal and platform regulation, while intended to protect society, can inadvertently suppress critical voices.

The book uniquely analyzes European policies, offering a comparative perspective on different approaches to digital governance. It progresses by first establishing the context of social media's influence on social movements, followed by dissecting specific government interventions like surveillance measures. Finally, it synthesizes findings to suggest alternative policies that prioritize transparency and accountability.

This approach provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and potential consequences of digital speech control for democratic values.
