About the session
In April this year, the UK government unveiled plans to regulate social media. The proposals include placing a duty of care on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to make sure that their users don’t come to harm.
How the UK chooses to address the societal challenges social media presents will impact what the Internet looks like for years to come.
Join Professor David Kaye, UN Special Rapporteur on the right to freedom of opinion and expression and author of “Speech Police: The Global Struggle to Govern the Internet”, in conversation with Barrister Jennifer Robinson as they discuss the global landscape of online content regulation, question the harms social media really presents and consider how best to protect fundamental rights in this shifting online world.
