The Supreme Court is considering whether laws in Texas and Florida that regulate how social media companies engage in content moderation violate the First Amendment. This pair of cases, known as the NetChoice cases, implicate not only First Amendment issues, but broader questions about the role of social media companies in the public sphere. Join three experts in the field — FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, Professor Eugene Volokh, and Ramya Krishnan, senior staff attorney at the Knight First Amendment Institute and a lecturer in law at Columbia Law School — for a lively discussion of these issues. SLS Professor Jud Campbell will moderate.
