Jacob Mchangama
Jacob Mchangama is a Danish author and legal scholar known for his advocacy of free speech and criticism of hate speech laws in Europe. With nearly two decades of research and commentary on the subject, he argues that such laws undermine the principles of an open society. Currently residing in the United States, he leads the think tank 'The Future of Free Speech' at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. Mchangama gained prominence for his views on the complexities of free expression, particularly following the 2005 publication of the Muhammad cartoons in Denmark, which sparked global debates on freedom of speech versus religious sensitivities.
