Advancing knowledge on media, audiences, and influence

Professor John Wihbey will present his argument for the U.S to establish a duty of care for social media platforms to take reasonable action when harms present themselves. Attendees will discuss ideas from his forthcoming book “Governing Babel: The Debate over Social Media Platforms and Free Speech – and What Comes Next” (MIT Press). This event is part of the Speaker Series on Misinformation, co-sponsored by the Shorenstein Center for Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School and the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University.
