OUR PURPOSE

The conference will feature scholars, journalists, advocates, technologists, and practitioners representing a wide range of perspectives on free expression, content moderation, and misinformation. Together, we will explore how societies should balance freedom of expression with efforts to address misinformation, harmful content, and other perceived online harms.

Our goal is to create a forum for substantive, fair-minded engagement across perspectives, where participants can explain their work, clarify disagreements, and explore where common ground is possible.
