Reviews"Richard Moon articulates a distinctive vision of freedom of expression as a social right - the value of which, as well as its propensity to cause harm, lie in the social character of communication. Although focused on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, this compelling and beautifully rendered account is a must-read for all scholars of freedom of expression and constitutional rights."--Adrienne Stone, Melbourne Laureate Professor and Director of the Centre for Comparative Constitutional Studies, Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne "A defining book on freedom of expression in Canada, as well as accessible and insightful, Richard Moon cuts through theory and decades of case law, helping readers make sense of the law and challenges in the new communication landscape we find ourselves in. Expression has never been more on the hot seat. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the field."--Emily B. Laidlaw, Canada Research Chair in Cybersecurity Law and Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law, University of Calgary

SynopsisThis book examines a range of issues that stem from our commitment to freedom of expression and considers the implications of the shift to social media as the principal platform for public engagement., In The Life and Death of Freedom of Expression, Richard Moon argues that freedom of expression is valuable because human agency and identity emerge in discourse - in the joint activity of creating meaning. Moon recognizes that the social character of individual agency and identity is crucial to understanding not only the value of expression but also its potential for harm. The book considers a range of issues, including the regulation of advertising, hate speech, pornography, blasphemy, and public protest. The book also considers the shift to social media as the principal platform for public engagement, which has added to the ways in which speech can be harmful while undermining the effectiveness of traditional legal responses to harmful speech. The Life and Death of Freedom of Expression makes the case that the principal threat to public discourse may no longer be censorship, but it is rather the spread of disinformation, which undermines public trust in traditional sources of information and makes engagement between different positions and groups increasingly difficult.
