Truth, Social Media and Conspiracy Theories: Social Media Regulation

Folio presents a timely series of panel discussions on Truth, Social Media Regulation and Cults and Conspiracy Theories, moderated by political commentator and Folio board member Morton Kondracke.

The flow of misinformation and the response from social media companies to recent events in the U.S. capitol suggest a turning point in how social platforms manage harmful content on their platforms and support free speech. Can platforms support free speech and self-regulate the spread of misinformation or should government bodies approach social media regulation?

Join panelists Nicole Buckley, Hazelton Fellow at UW's Center for an Informed Public and researcher on the UW/StanfordElection Integrity Project, State Senators Reuven Carlyle, chair of the Senate Environment, Energy & Technology (EET) Committee and Senator Doug Ericksen, ranking Republican on the Senate Environment, Energy & Technology (EET) Committee, for a conversation on the need for social media regulation.
