      The 2016 Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom, Donald Trump’s election as president of the United States and re-election campaign in 2020, the rise of right-wing populism in Europe and further afield, the current wave of Islamophobia and anti-Semitism, and the hate speech targeting people of Chinese origin during the COVID-19 pandemic have brought freedom of speech to the forefront of public and academic debate, together with the question of whether hateful expression ought to be regulated. The tension between freedom of speech and offensiveness also continues to elicit controversy, as shown for example by the 2006 Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy and, more recently, by the attacks on Charlie Hebdo’s offices in Paris in 2015 and 2020. The growing availability of Internet pornography has reignited long-standing debates between liberal and feminist thinkers concerning the permissibility of censorship and the tension between individual freedom and harm to women. Last but not least, recent phenomena such as fake news, trans wars and race culture wars have spurred new controversies regarding whether, when and how online speech should be regulated.
