Forthcoming 2021 - Freedom of Speech and Expression: Its History, Its Value, Its Good use and Its Misuse

In this book on freedom of speech and expression, I will start with an inter-cultural history of this valued right and then recall why we rightly value it. But the freedom has some legal boundaries. Should we use our cherished right, so long as the law allows? No, the very values we place on it should sometimes lead to voluntary self-restraint. The legal boundaries anyhow are not always easy to frame, and in our latest crisis on social media, it is not easy to find or impose the right legal alternatives. Solutions?
