Government vs. Social Media

WOSU’s Mike Thompson and the Columbus on the Record panel look at whether and how the government should regulate social media.

Here are 5 key takeaways you'll learn from our discussion:

1. The historical perspective on the evolution of media technology and its impact on society.

2. The current concerns and public health issues related to social media and adolescents.

3. The implications of regulating social media on free speech and the First Amendment.

4. The perspective of a group advocating for safe social media practices.

5. Possible strategies and laws that states like Maryland and Virginia are considering to address social media challenges.

Our Panelists:
-Nicole Kraft, associate professor of journalism practice at Ohio State University
-David Stebenne, professor of history and law at Ohio State University
-Chris Vineis, founder and president at Unite for Safe Social Media
