The debate over differences in U.S. and European speech rights is a perennial issue. But, the emergence of private social media platforms – and their dominance – has given the issue a new dimension and a new sense of urgency. What is the role and responsibility of the state and private companies in terms of monitoring and preventing hate speech? Where is the dividing line between free speech and censorship?
Join the American Council on Germany, the Max Planck Law Network,
and the Robert Bosch Foundation Alumni Association for a
discussion with Prof. Dr. Ralf Poscher, Director at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law, and Nadine Strossen, John Marshall Harlan II Professor of Law at New York Law School.
