Cato Event Podcast Cato Institute

On February 26, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the cases of Moody v. NetChoice and NetChoice v. Paxton. These cases are likely to have a significant impact on the future of free speech online and the way platforms engage in online content moderation.
With the oral arguments fresh in mind, this multipanel event will feature a fireside chat with Steve DelBianco, president and CEO of NetChoice, before moving on to panels of legal and policy experts who will analyze the Florida and Texas laws at issue in these cases and discuss what happened at oral arguments. The NetChoicecases represent a pivotal moment in the future of First Amendment jurisprudence both online and offline. As such, it is important that Cato provides a forum for understanding not only the Court’s consideration of these cases but also the broader impact such proposals should have. Further panels will discuss the impact the cases will have on the debates over Section 230 and online speech for users, as well as the impact on online content moderation decisions by online platforms.

As misinformation proliferates online, the government increasingly attempts to curb its spread. In the face of strong formal speech protections, government officials have taken to pressuring and cajoling social media platforms to suppress unwanted content in the halls of Congress and behind the scenes. To what extent can the government’s power to speak be used to combat online misinformation before it becomes “jawboning” that violates the speech rights of private actors? The latest documentary from FedSoc Studios, Jawboned: Miss Information vs. Free Speech, investigates the distinctions between notification, persuasion, and unconstitutional government coercion, a key issue before the Supreme Court this term in Vivek H. Murthy v. Missouri and National Rifle Association v. Maria Vullo.
