Maxim Short Cuts | Critical thinking or Censorship?

By Jason Heale June 27, 2023

Censorship or critical thinking? The battle for our online freedom rages on. In the Maxim Institute column this week, Communications Coordinator Sisilia Teu explores the Department of Internal Affairs proposed media regulator. Is it a noble pursuit of safety or a slippery slope towards government-controlled content? Sisilia explores the perils of excessive regulation and the alternative path to a resilient society. She argues the issue isn’t just about protecting children but about safeguarding the essence of free speech.
