 dent Donald Trump has made it a priority to ensure “fairness” in media—bot
 h new and old. He isn’t waiting for Congress to act. The new leadership of
  the Federal Communications Commission\, the Federal Trade Commission\, an
 d the Department of Justice Antitrust Division are eager to take action. W
 hether they succeed will turn on a series of complex legal questions about
  the authority of these agencies and how the First Amendment limits govern
 ment interference in private media. Please join us for a two-day workshop 
 exploring the constitutional limits to what government can do about “censo
 rship” and “bias.”\nMay 15 – Can the FTC and DOJ Police Political Bias &am
 p\; Content Moderation?\nThe leaders of the Federal Trade Commission and t
 he Department of Justice Antitrust Division believe these agencies can tak
 e legal action to ensure that social media companies curate and moderate c
 ontent without political bias. They also want to sue advertisers for threa
 tening to boycott platforms that won’t moderate content harmful to brands.
  But how do consumer protection and competition law apply to media compani
 es? What action\, if anything\, could these agencies take that is consiste
 nt with the First Amendment? The FTC is taking comments on these issues un
 til May 21.\nCDT Featured Speaker: Kate Ruane\, Director\, Free Expression
