A Free Speech Dialogue between the US and Europe

Abstract

This bi-lingual (German/English) Dialogue between a former German Constitutional Court Judge and a renowned First Amendment Scholar from the US shall shed light on why these differences persist and what we can learn about a current or future regulation – or non-regulation – of online platforms. The discussion will be guided especially by the question whether “lies” deserve protection or whether harms and risks necessitate restrictions in the online context.

The Dialogue will start with a presentation from both perspectives and will then continue with a conversation between the moderators and speakers. There will also be room for discussion with the audience.
