Freedom of expression on the Internet

Should there be any limits?
4'09" 20 May 2017 Council of Europe Strasbourg

The Internet has become a part of our everyday lives, and an essential source of information for citizens who want to cast their votes responsibly. But with the rise of fake news, it now poses a threat to democracy, as people are deliberately misinformed in an attempt to influence and manipulate them.

Should freedom of expression on the Internet now be curbed, in an effort to reduce the risk of fake news, hate speech and other negative developments. This video asks members of the public what they think about the issue, before getting some expert analysis on the subject.
