Should governments set the rules and force the American behemoths amp;mdash; Facebook, YouTube and Twitter amp;mdash; to follow? Or should the companies be permitted to moderate their space as they see fit?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Kaye, one of the world's leading voices on human rights in the digital age, deals with these issues on a daily basis as the United Nations' Special Rapporteur on freedom of opinion and expression. \u003ci\u003eSpeech Police\u003c\/i\u003e brings us behind the scenes, from Facebook's \"mini-legislative\" meetings to the European Commission's closed-door negotiations, and introduces journalists, activists, and content moderators who take down a virtual flood of photos, videos, and text every day.
