Social media platforms are at a crossroads. Mark Zuckerberg recently announced a major policy shift in the United States, scaling back fact-checkers and embracing a lighter approach to content moderation—mirroring Elon Musk’s strategy on X (formerly Twitter).

🔹 The broader consequences for freedom of expression, misinformation, and digital regulation

Join us as we explore whether these shifts will empower free speech—or unleash a new wave of disinformation and online harm. Will Europe follow the U.S. trend, or will strict regulation hold the line?
