Hello, free-knowledge champions!
I am delighted to share an interesting (FREE) event with this group: our upcoming summer
legal fellow panel event. The panel is moderated by WMF Lead USA Public Policy Specialist,
Kate Ruane, on August 1st, 4pm Pacific/7pm Eastern.
This year's virtual event, entitled "Common Carriers: Airlines, Railroads… and
Online Platforms? Recent Developments in US Social Media Laws to Regulate User Content
Online," explores the potential of recent laws in Texas and Florida to disrupt the
First Amendment freedoms of how online platforms regulate user content online.
The star-studded panel includes:
1) Daphne Keller, Director of the Program on Platform Regulation at Stanford’s Cyber
Policy Center
2) Chris Lewis, President and CEO at Public Knowledge
3) Gaurav Laroia, FTC Attorney Advisor for Consumer Protection
4) David Greene, EFF Senior Staff Attorney and Civil Liberties Director
