Content Moderation vs. Free Expression

Republicans and Democrats agree on the importance of protecting children and teens against online predators. In this episode of State AG Pulse, Jerry Kilgore expands on his recent op-ed in Washington Examiner in which he argued that encouraging parental oversight, together with federal mandates for age standards, would be more effective in protecting children’s safety online than a patchwork of state laws. He predicts wide reverberations from the Supreme Court’s expected ruling in the NetChoice cases this summer including on the campaign trail, and debates with Stephen Cobb and Emily Yu the roles of state AGs, legislation and the Supreme Court in the fight between those who support content moderation and those who advocate for freedom of expression.
