About The Future of Free Speech

We are building the Future of Free Speech through an inter-disciplinary and evidence-based approach that can help nurture a resilient global culture of free speech in the digital age.

“The Future of Free Speech” project will seek to answer three big questions: Why is freedom of speech in global decline? How can we better understand and conceptualize the benefits and harms of free speech? How can we create a resilient global culture of free speech that benefits everyone?
