Online Free Speech Discussion

What should be the limits to free speech online?
How do we balance the right to free speech with the need for online safety?
Will the recent online harms bill improve the internet or make things worse?
Should some apps allow completely free speech?
Is surveillance and censorship a necessary evil?

We've booked the upstairs area at Cafe 1001 in Brick Lane for this one - it's a cool venue and you can get drinks and food there. Start time is 6.30pm but it's fine if you join us later.

Free speech is a controversial topic so please follow a few rules: keep conversation friendly and constructive, no ad-hominem arguments - focus on the point you are discussing not the person, you don't have to win an argument - it's a friendly conversation rather than an adversarial debate.

The event is free but if you would like to donate £3 this will really help keep the group running and help towards paying the meetup.com fees, future venue hire and make cool stuff possible in the future.
You can pay online via Stripe or in cash to the organiser at the venue:
