You Can't Read This Book: Censorship in an Age of Freedom (2012) is a book by Nick Cohen about modern censorship, plutocratic power and privacy laws, freedom of speech, and free expression. In this book, author Nick Cohen argues that unrestricted access to online information and social media may expedite the fall of dictators, but does not mean we live in an unprecedented era of freedom. He goes on to state that we are subject to ever-tightening structures on what we say, think or do. According to Cohen, privacy laws let the wealthy censor the press; protest against oppression is slammed as bigotry and voices of dissent can't be heard over "the clamour hailing the internet as the saviour of democracy."

  • You Can't Read This Book: Censorship in an Age of Freedom (2012) is a book by Nick Cohen about modern censorship, plutocratic power and privacy laws, freedom of speech, and free expression. In this book, author Nick Cohen argues that unrestricted access to online information and social media may expedite the fall of dictators, but does not mean we live in an unprecedented era of freedom. He goes on to state that we are subject to ever-tightening structures on what we say, think or do. According to Cohen, privacy laws let the wealthy censor the press; protest against oppression is slammed as bigotry and voices of dissent can't be heard over "the clamour hailing the internet as the saviour of democracy." While we seem more informed than ever before, states Cohen, his book aims to show that if we want to preserve free speech, we ignore history at our peril. (en)
  • You Can't Read This Book. Censorship in an Age of Freedom ("Non puoi leggere questo libro: la censura in un'età di libertà") è un saggio scritto da Nick Cohen e pubblicato da Fourth Estate, un marchio della HarperCollins. Dalla rivoluzione che non fu in Iran, al Grande Firewall della Cina e all'imposizione di super-ingiunzioni da parte dei ricchi sfondati per proteggere la loro vita privata, gli avversari tradizionali di libertà di parola - il fanatismo religioso, il potere plutocratico e gli stati dittatoriali - sono fiorenti e per molti aspetti trovano il mondo un posto molto più confortevole nei primi anni del XXI secolo che non nel tardo XX. Con queste affermazioni si apre il libro di Nick Cohen, un resoconto di controversie che inizia con la reazione catastrofica della sinistra e destra alla pubblicazione e denuncia dei I versi satanici nel 1988, che li ha visti "andare a letto" con gli estremisti radicali. Si conclude al frangente in cui anche nel trasgressivo Occidente liberato, dove tanto sangue è stato versato per la libertà, dove la ribellione è stile conformista e fare il dissenziente la mossa intelligente per far carriera nel campo delle arti e dei media, è possibile scrivere un libro e finire distrutti o morti.

  • You Can't Read This Book: Censorship in an Age of Freedom – to książka autorstwa Nicka Cohena wydana w 2012, na temat współczesnej cenzury, plutokratycznej władzy, przepisów dotyczących ochrony prywatności oraz wolności słowa i ekspresji. W swojej książce Nick Cohen twierdzi, że nieograniczony dostęp do informacji w Internecie i mediach społecznościowych może przyczyniać się do przyspieszania upadku dyktatorów, ale nie oznacza to, że żyjemy w epoce bezprecedensowej wolności. Uważa, że jesteśmy ofiarami ciągle rosnących w siłę struktur decydujących o tym co mówimy, myślimy i robimy. Według Cohena, przepisy dotyczące prywatności umożliwiają możnym cenzurować media, protesty przeciwko uciskowi są uciszane jako przejawy fanatyzmu, a głosy sprzeciwu są zagłuszane przez "zgiełk okrzykujący internet zbawicielem demokracji." I choć zdaniem autora wydaje się, że ludzie są bardziej poinformowani niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej, jego książka ma na celu pokazać, że jeśli chcemy zachować wolność słowa, nie powinniśmy ignorować historii.
