Description

Industry self-regulation has long been a feature of the movie, music, and video game industries through the implementation of content labeling and ratings systems. Now social media platforms are facing public scrutiny, with calls for action to protect youth safety, but these efforts face significant First Amendment obstacles. This session will discuss the case for and against industry self-regulation of social media, including discussion of a paper authored by Dr. Nicol Turner-Lee.
