Description

This course explores the shifting relationship between free expression and media technologies. From a philosophical and legal foundation, it immerses students into the technological, social and cultural issues surrounding the First Amendment, including privacy rights, pornography, copyright and libel. The course challenges students by posing a critical question: Are there any forms of free speech that should be restricted? If so, which ones and who decides?
