Was the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision a victory for free speech or just submission to corporate dominance? Where should the First Amendment end and the federal government’s power to ban books, movies, and social media posts begin? When anti-vaxx misinformation floods social media and threatens public health, should government step into the internet? What if the misinformation comes in from abroad? Debate Room is not a heated debate but a fast-paced moderated discussion where everyone gets to be heard, and the most interesting speaker gets a prize!
