Rights up #2: Free speech vs harassment – PeopleACT

By Chua Ern Teck with Syahredzan Johan & Long Seh Lih
21 February 2018

Online harassment can silence free speech, but responding with censorship might do more harm than good. How do we identify a solution that curbs harassment while preserving freedom of expression? On this episode of Rights Up, a six-part series in collaboration with PeopleACT, lawyer Syahredzan Johan debates MCCHR’s Long Seh Lih about whether freedom of expression also entails freedom to make insensitive and offensive statements.
