Toward the end of 2024, amid scrutiny from the new administration and free speech concerns, social media platforms like Meta and X have significantly reduced efforts and adopted new standards for content moderation. Without governmental or self-regulation, social media became an even more conspicuous source of misinformation and a rabbit hole for anyone looking for hard news.
Algorithms are often designed to tailor newsfeeds and deliberately conceal information that interferes with a user’s political preferences and beliefs. This platform censorship and selective information gathering negatively affect democracy. Are First Amendment rights being trampled by compromised access to news and information? What duties do these platforms have to life in liberal democracies? Are digital ethics and best practices being ignored, and how can social media platforms be held accountable?
Join us for a conversation with the Executive Director of the National Coalition Against Censorship, Lee Rowland; Techdirt founder and editor and Bluesky board member, Mike Masnick; and Litigation Director at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, Alex Abdo. Moderated by FOLCS founder and Creative Director, law professor, and author of Saving Free Speech … from Itself, Thane Rosenbaum.
