The Esquire Talks strives to promote conversation and critical thinking, where, in each session, we host a group of panellists to consider the topic of the day. For our first assembly of the year (scroll down for event details), we're wrangling in that old horse of contention—censorship. How much is too much? Is censorship needed to maintain social order? Can people learn not to take offense in the face of differing opinion?
