“Hate Speech” Laws Silence Dissent | Peter Boghossian & Toby Young

Called one of Britain’s “most controversial broadcasters and journalists,” author and social critic Toby Young is the founder & director of Free Speech Union and editor-in-chief of The Daily Sceptic. He is an associate editor of The Spectator, where he has written a weekly column since 1998. Toby advocates for classical liberal education and co-founded the West London Free School.

In 2022, PayPal blocked the accounts of Free Speech Union and The Daily Sceptic, along with Toby’s personal account. PayPal reversed the ban and apologized for the “inconvenience” after British MPs accused the company of politically-motivated censorship.

Toby’s books include “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People,” “The Sound of No Hands Clapping,” “How to Set Up a Free School,” and “What Every Parent Needs to Know: How to Help Your Child Get the Most Out of Primary School” (co-written with Miranda Thomas).

Toby studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford University and studied at Harvard (as a Fulbright scholar) and Trinity College, Cambridge. He appears on the popular weekly podcast “The Weekly Sceptic” hosted by Nick Dixon.
