Abstract

This thesis explores the tension between free speech and its potential to cause harm. I specifically illustrate how it works in anti-vaccination dialogues on social media websites. This thesis questions whether there is an appropriate limit to free speech in order to protect public health.

This thesis is restricted to the Claremont Colleges current faculty, students, and staff.
