What is Twitter? Yes, it’s where you find the latest news and commentary, read about celebrities you love (or hate), and have a nice, civilized discussion with fellow users (read: sarcasm). But is it the public square? Nothing but a private platform? And what are social media platforms’ rights and obligations under First Amendment law? 

On Wednesday 1/18, the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University will launch "Views on First.” Over the course of five episodes, host @evelyndouek, in conversation with legal experts and technologists, will grapple with the thorniest questions that arise when social media collides with the First Amendment.
