Jerome Greene Hall, 435 W. 116 St., New York, NY 10027 102B

Speaker: George Wang, Staff Attorney at the Knight Institute

How far can the government go in regulating social media platforms? The Supreme Court will soon decide cases regarding states' abilities to control social media platform content moderation and when 'jawboning,' governmental pressure on social media platforms to suppress speech, violates the First Amendment. In the lower courts, Texas and Montana confront challenges to their respective TikTok bans.

Lunch provided.
