Fara Dabhoiwala's "What is Free Speech?" is a great book. I'm sure I will read it again. I'm not a free speech absolutist. In fact, I think an absolutist approach is harmful. But of course, there's a lot of nuance there. Put basically, I think free speech need serious guardrails and must acknowledge that context matters much more than it is currently considered in the US-style approach (which gets imposed on nearly everyone else because of what the Internet has now become). Again, I can't recommend it enough. https://dabhoiwala.com/what-is-free-speech
