Renee DiResta on Nostr: Listening to Salman Rushdie speak about free speech at a conference at Vanderbilt ...

Listening to Salman Rushdie speak about free speech at a conference at Vanderbilt today. He notes he has left Twitter - “a room full of people you don’t want to be in” - and life is more peaceful without it. He notes that publishing the Satanic Verses would have been more dangerous today - in 1989, information spread more slowly. Fax machines spread propaganda against his work then, but it would be “exponentially more now.”
