About the Event

In conjunction with Human Rights Day 2019, LSE Alumni Society of Malaysia will be hosting a panel discussion over dinner entitled Free Speech in the Modern Era!

Recent years have seen the rise of nationalism and authoritarian governments powered by the proliferation of fake news and fear-mongering rhetoric, in stark contrast to the trends of cultural globalization. These represent both sides of the same coin - our modern era shaped and defined by information technology and social media. We discuss the effects such an environment has on free speech and the potential ramifications thereof, with references to topical issues such as the Hong Kong demonstrations and the recent repeal of our own Anti-Fake News Act 2018.
