The Human Rights Program at the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College presents:

Virtual Meeting Platforms: Government Control and Corporate Compliance

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, social networking and virtual meeting platforms are used now more than ever, as millions of people around the world have had to quickly adjust and find new ways to connect and communicate.

Join us on Thursday, 12/3 at 8pm (EST) on Zoom for a live discussion that will explore the roles and responsibilities of these corporations in ensuring open access to the communication channels they create and responding to government regulation of social networking platforms, as well as informal efforts to exert control over public speech.

Featuring:

Teng Biao, Grove Human Rights Scholar and President of China Against the Death Penalty

Erica Basu, Researcher and Adjunct Lecturer at American University’s School of Communication

Moderated by Paul Mozur, Tech Correspondent at The New York Times
