Social Media Regulation: European Approaches to Dangerous Online Content in International Perspective
Panel Discussion: How should governments think about and regulate social media content? | Open to the public
Every government in the world is grappling with questions about how and who should regulate social media content. Particularly in democracies, the challenge of balancing freedoms of expression and speech with countering the potential security risks of online content such as extremist content or harmful misinformation has become increasingly pressing.

How should governments think about and regulate this content? The European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) has come to be seen as a global model for regulating social media content. Speakers will discuss the DSA and contrast this approach with the US’s hands-off approach that is centered on Section 230 and the First Amendment.
Panelists John A. Albert is an associate researcher at the Institute…
