The Changing Nature of Freedom of Expression: Banning Books Is Anachronistic But Challenges Remain

Good article from The National Post about the changing nature of the debate around Freedom of Expression.

What remains is that challenges still come from all sides of the political spectrum.

…the bulk of work on freedom of expression is shifting from people who fruitlessly complain about books to attacks on journalists and bloggers. Also on the table are concerns about the shady, hard-to-discern role Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and other social-media outlets have in policing and suppressing speech by “deplatforming” people without any kind of clear public process — often using algorithms that work in undisclosed ways.
