Summary
Does the First Amendment allow U.S. government officials to intervene and prevent the spread of misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms?
The U.S. Supreme Court recently had an opportunity to rule on this question. Instead, they declined to issue decisions in two cases, punting them back to officials in Texas and Florida.
Jill Wine-Banks, the distinguished attorney and MSNBC Legal Analyst, will join us for a virtual program on Tuesday, August 27 to speak about the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent action on social media censorship.
NOTE: This program was rescheduled from its original date of Tuesday, August 20.
This program will not be recorded for later viewing—please join us to watch it live.
This program is part of a League event series where noted authorities speak on relevant topics leading up to the U.S. Presidential Election on Tuesday, November 5. Presented by LWVIL’s Misinformation and Disinformation Task Force, the series is part of an effort to provide tools and resources that educate voters.
