free_speechWe would like the community to host, where possible, self-contained discussions on free speech, news related to free speech, or the politics of free speech. (These categories are intentionally somewhat vague at first; we're hoping that the community will be able to clarify these as time goes on. That said, if you have any questions, please ask us and we'll do our best to explain.) In that vein, we'd like the community entries not to be just links to outside content, but to have more substantive and self-contained discussions.
At the same time, we realize that sometimes posting a link is all you have the time or the energy for. With that in mind, we'll be having weekly entries for people to comment on with links, to which anybody is welcome to respond and start a discussion in the comments.
For practical reasons (languages the community admins speak), we suggest using English or French in entries and comments. We're aware of the chilling effect this may cause, however, and still welcome other languages.
If you would like a matter to be raised in the community, but for safety/privacy reasons do not wish to post it under your username, we welcome anonymous comments in all posts. If you wish to raise a new matter not currently posted, you may either comment anonymously in the weekly link post, or you may contact the admins privately and ask us to post on your behalf, without mentioning your username.
As always, please be careful when posting if you may be subject to persecution.
