In this episode, evelyn douek, Lecturer in Law and doctoral candidate at Harvard Law School, discusses her article "Governing Online Speech: From 'Posts-As-Trumps' to Proportionality and Probability," which will be published in the Columbia Law Review. douek begins by explaining how internet platforms have typically relied on a categorical approach to content regulation, and why it has failed. She argues that they should adopt an approach that is relies on proportionality and is sensitive to probability. She observes that this will also require more transparency, but could produce far more effective content moderation policies. douek is on Twitter at @evelyndouek.
