Free speech, trolls, and disinformation campaigns

 

After reviewing the Study Materials for this module on free speech, trolls, and disinformation campaigns, consider your own experience online. Have you or
someone you know ever had an experience with challenging online phenomena like trolling, cyber-hate speech, or disinformation campaigns? Who do you
think should be responsible for overseeing the web—individuals, online communities, corporations, governments, or international coalitions?
Choose one of the themes discussed in The Future of Free Speech,Trolls, Anonymity, and Fake News Online and, in a paper of 500 to 750 words
(approximately 2 to 3 pages), develop a policy to address the issues raised by your selected theme. Discuss steps that individuals, online communities,
scholars, corporations, governments, and/or international coalitions can take to successfully address the issues. Support your analysis with one or more of
the ethical frameworks (utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics, social justice and social contract theory). Use properly cited evidence from the Study
Materials to support your points.
