Should social media platforms be required to let users choose their own content moderation algorithms? Missouri’s Attorney General has proposed exactly that. But does it violate the First Amendment rights of platforms—and is it a good idea? Join us for the eighth installment “Tech in the Courts,” a webinar series presented by TechFreedom and Washington Legal Foundation. The event is on Thursday, June 12, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. ET.
Missouri’s proposed rule is just the latest in a trend of state and federal efforts to regulate content moderation. Our panel of experts will explore these efforts and the practicality of enforcing algorithmic neutrality in today’s digital landscape:
