Webinar | In Conversation with Dex Hunter-Torricke: Is Facebook’s Oversight Board the Answer to Content Moderation

Wed, May 19, 2021 16:15 PM - 17:00 PM BST

The recent announcement by Facebook’s Oversight Board to uphold Trump’s ban has once again put the spotlight on the role of technology companies when it comes to regulating online speech and protecting people from abuse and misinformation. The decision also reshapes the way speech by public officials is moderated by social media companies. Could this announcement be the first step in building consistency in how speech and misinformation are managed in the online world?

Join Access Partnership’s Matthew McDermott in conversation with Dex Hunter-Torricke, Head of Communications for the Oversight Board, as they discuss the tensions behind the recent decision, how this impacts the relationship between Facebook and the board, and the future of content moderation.
