Free speech and the difficulties Elon Musk and Government face regulating it

Description:

After months of back and forth, Elon Musk is officially the new owner of social media giant Twitter. 

The world’s richest man has sought to reassure advertisers that Twitter would not "become a free-for-all hellscape” under his watch, but Musk has already started sharing fake news on the site, while his admirers have used his arrival in the building as a reason to launch hateful troll campaigns.

Today, Damien is joined by Professor Colin Gavaghan, director of the University of Otago’s Centre for Law and Policy in Emerging Technologies, to discuss what the law really says about free speech.
