SUMMARY:SCOTUS Punts on Social Media Censorship: What’s Next? (LWVIL)
DESCRIPTION:Does the First Amendment allow U.S. government officials to intervene and prevent the spread of misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms?\nThe U.S. Supreme Court recently had an opportunity to rule on this question. Instead\, they declined to issue decisions in two cases\, punting them back to officials in Texas and Florida.\nJill Wine-Banks\, the distinguished attorney and MSNBC Legal Analyst\, will join us for a virtual program on Tuesday\, August 27 to speak about the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent action on social media censorship.\nNOTE: This program was rescheduled from its original date of Tuesday\, August 20.\nThis program will not be recorded for later viewing—please join us to watch it live.\nRegister to attend. https://lwvil.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/lwvil/eventRegistration.jsp?event=594&\nThis program is part of a League event series where noted authorities speak on relevant topics leading up to the U.S. Presidential Election on Tuesday\, November 5. Presented by LWVIL’s Misinformation and Disinformation Task Force https://www.lwvil.org/misdis-info \, the series is part of an effort to provide tools and resources that educate voters.\nAbout the Speaker\nJill Wine-Banks\, a distinguished attorney and MSNBC Legal Analyst\, is a prominent figure in political and legal discourse.\nA celebrated author\, Wine-Banks’s memoir\, The Watergate Girl https://www.jillwinebanks.com/the-watergate-girl \, has been optioned for film adaptation. Wine-Banks began her law career as the first woman to serve as an organized crime prosecutor at the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington\, D.C. Four years later\, she was hand-picked to be one of the three Assistant Watergate Special Prosecutors in the obstruction of justice trial against President Nixon’s top aides. Nixon was named an unindicted co-conspirator in that case\, but the evidence presented led to Nixon’s resignation.\nAmong her many accomplishments\, Wine-Banks was named General Counsel of the U.S. Army by President Carter where she supervised what was\, in essence\, the world’s largest law firm. She is particularly proud of her work with Congress to level the playing field for women in the army. In 2014\, she was named by the Secretary of Defense to the Judicial Proceedings Panel’s Subcommittee on Sexual Assault in the military\, where she served until 2017. She was the first woman to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the American Bar Association.
