Abstract
The framework brought forward by the United Kingdom’s Defamation Act 2013
underlines a traditional hierarchy of expression in which news media are viewed as
high-level speech. Although of a different form, social media are a dominant means
of expression. The current study explores the rationale for a more robust and forceful
discussion of responsibility in speech on social media platforms. The underlying
premise here is that speech should be viewed as a qualified good and that a more
appropriate paradigm is one found in the phrase ‘freedom to participate’.
