Free Speech Project: Confronting Viral Disinformation


The Coronavirus is a fast-spreading global crisis. Misinformation and rumors about the pandemic are a serious problem that could impact response efforts around the world. What are Facebook and other social media platforms doing to combat this and how can we be informed citizens of the internet? We'll hear from two legal experts and Facebook's head of security on the head-on efforts to address misinformation about the pandemic, and whether these efforts might alter how users, the platforms themselves, and society think about online free speech.

Join us Wednesday, March 25 at 4:00 pm EDT to discuss how platforms are confronting viral disinformation in the wake of the coronavirus:
