Does the regulation against mis-and disinformation pose a threat to press freedom?
Dr Peter Coe addresses the question in a Birmingham Law School Research blogpost.
I was recently invited to be part of a British Association of Comparative Law (BACL) panel to discuss Dr Irini Katsirea’s new book Press Freedom and Regulation in a Digital Era: A Comparative Study. As part of that panel, one of the questions I was asked to speak to was: Does the regulation against mis-and disinformation pose a threat to press freedom?
In this post (which was first published on the BACL Blog), I set out my thoughts on this particular issue.
