Keynote Address: Facebook and Free Speech: An Update
|
|
|
Facebook’s Brent Harris will join Cato’s John Samples for an important conversation on Facebook and free speech. Social media companies find themselves called upon to both protect speech and enforce standards necessary to ensure open discourse on the platform. Facebook has responded to this challenge by creating an Oversight Board to balance voice and safety. Brent Harris, who oversees this effort at Facebook, will bring us up to speed on this effort and its implications for liberty in the rapidly emerging digital era.

California’s War on the Poor
|
|
|
Building on his book The Inclusive Economy, Michael Tanner will be directing Cato’s Project on Poverty and Inequality in California. This two-year effort will study how, despite a growing economy and pockets of extreme wealth, California has the nation’s highest poverty rate and extreme levels of inequality. By examining how government missteps have fueled these problems, we hope to open the state’s economy to greater participation by the poor and those struggling under the burdens of bad policy.
