Countering Influence Operations on Social Media Platforms

On June 26, the US Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling in Murthy v Missouri, a cased that considered whether the Biden administration violated the First Amendment in its efforts to address COVID-19 mis- and disinformation on social media. Tech Policy press fellow Dean Jackson, who studied the case closely, discussed the outcome and what it means for the future with three experts:

• Olga Belogolova, director of the Emerging Technologies Initiative at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS);
• Mayze Teitler, a legal fellow at the Knight First Amendment Institute; and
• Nina Jankowicz, co-Founder and CEO of the American Sunlight Project.
