Free Speech: A History from Socrates to Social Media by @JMchangama is one of the best non-fiction books I have read in a very long time.
I was hooked right from the beginning. I would highly recommend reading it and taking notes. You will learn new things on every page

1/ 🧵One reason many are instictively in favour of banning book burnings is because we associate them with the mass book burnings in Nazi Germany. This is indeed a dark chapter in human history. But burning documents or symbols have also been part of important protest movements: – at Nashville, TN

Book burnings are a primitive form of protest that typically deserve moral condemnation. But banning expressive conduct - however offensive - is a dangerous path for democracies that pave the way for further restrictions. My latest in @TIME

“Free speech and equality are mutually reinforcing, not mutually exclusive" @JMchangama
Wise words. Free speech is indispensable to the American idea. It protects us from tyranny more thoroughly and effectively than any other constitutional right. nytimes.com/2023/04/16/opini…

I talked to the wonderful people of @IdeasB2 who, I’m proud to say, have translated my book into Arabic.
Our latest translation is Free Speech by @JMchangama.
We spoke with Jacob about the future of free speech in the Middle East, the impact his book can have amongst an Arabic audience, should the Taliban be able to remain on Twitter, and more!

Spinoza on early modern cancel culture (given the reception of his Theological-Political Treatise, which was both widely banned and condemned "[a] work “forged in Hell by a renegade Jew and the Devil", Spinoza was hardly being paranoid).

I don't know anyone who has thought more about free speech -- its issues, its history, its role in political life -- than Jacob Mchangama (@JMchangama). Lend an ear to this great Dane. (Wonderful guy, the free-speech advocacy and scholarship aside.) ricochet.com/podcast/q-and-a…

Enjoyed this deep dive into the history of #freespeech on the @HdxAcademy podcast, including focus on academic freedom past and present.
"The ecosystem needed for [free speech] to thrive & flourish...is far more complex than merely being a question of protecting the citizen against the state. In truth, the roots of free speech are ancient, deep, and sprawling." @JMchangama CC: @jon_rauch

Victoria (Au) is set to enact a law banning the public display of Nazi swastikas, but the law may well do more to undermine than strengthen the democratic values of freedom and equal dignity that it seeks to protect. - @JMchangama in @SpectatorOz
