Trolls, hate speech and crowd censorship: Limits on press freedom The Embassies of Finland and Sweden have the honor of inviting you to a
seminar for International Press Freedom Day

Trolls, hate speech and crowd censorship: Limits on press freedom On the
3rd of May 2016, 14.00–16.30, Museum of Occupations, Toompea 8, Tallinn

What is the impact on press freedom of aggressive online discussion?
Have trolls succeeded in silencing journalists? So-called crowd
censorship is spreading on the web, how does it threaten freedom of
speech and democracy?

250 years ago the Parliament of Sweden issued the most liberal Freedom
of the Press Act ever. Preventive censorship was abolished and the
principle of transparency emerged. The author of the act was Anders
Chydenius, a Finnish Member of Parliament. How does the legacy of
Chydenius look today?
