With the launch of a West Bank radio station, settlers are winning legitimacy and influence. Padraig Reidy and Israeli journalist Anat Balint discuss radio in the occupied territories
Anant Balint is a former media correspondent for Haeretz
In an event hosted by Index on Censorship, executives from Google, Facebook and Privacy International debate privacy and free speech on the web. New technology has revolutionised freedom of expression, but it’s also transformed the business of censorship. So what will it take to make the internet safe for free speech? Or is it really time for Facebook hara-kiri?
Chaired by Jo Glanville, Editor, Index on Censorship
The speakers are:
Richard Allan, Director of Policy EU, Facebook
Anthony House, European Policy and Communications Manager, Google
Gus Hosein, Policy Director, Privacy International
The nice people at the top skeptic show The Pod Delusion helped out at last night’s Libel Reform Campaign Free Speech Hustings, providing a live audiostream to the world, and now creating a lovely podcast for you to listen to in case you missed last night.
The Little Atoms Radio show, hosted by Neil Denny and Rebecca Watson was backstage at the Big Libel gig interviewing acts and campaigners including Simon Singh, Tim Minchin, Marcus Brigstocke, Tracey Brown, Richard Wiseman, Brian Cox, Ben Goldacre, Dara O’Briain, Ariane Sherine, Ed Byrne, Shappi Khorsandi and Robin Ince. The show contains some bad language and a whole load of libel. The song at the end of the show is Change the Libel Laws by Sly and Reggie, The Suburban Pirates.
