The panel of this session will investigate the growing debate around social media platforms placing, or not placing, restrictions on what can be posted online. Attendees will gain an insight into how these restrictions impact both individual users of the platforms and wider society through the perspectives of individual creatives and stakeholders. 

Key questions 

• How can we ensure that social media remains a safe space for both free speech and safe dialogue?  
• In a world where algorithms shape what we see, can we still truly have and practice freedom of expression? What is the dynamic of power in this context? 
• How can we redefine the balance between the freedom to post and the need for accountability in shaping public discourse?
