Content Moderation and the Constitution: The Supreme Court’s Social Media Cases

On February 26, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in two NetChoice cases: NetChoice v. Paxton and Moody v. NetChoice. Both address whether states can enact laws that bar social media platforms from moderating content posted by users. This program will review the Florida and Texas laws, the issues presented and First Amendment implications, lower courts’ conflicting rulings, and possible U.S. Supreme Court rulings and their effect on “free expression.” In addition, the panel will examine Murthy v. Missouri, to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court on March 18. In this case, a lower court ruled that several federal agencies committed First Amendment violations concerning COVID-19 and other public health communications to social media platforms.

CTIC Event– Legal Models for Psychedelics: Ethical, Clinical, and Practical Implications

As psychedelics become increasingly mainstream, a variety of legal models are developing in tandem, including decriminalization, legalization, and more medicalized approaches, ranging from psychedelic services and therapy provided by specific state-licensed outlets and providers to traditional FDA drug approval. What are the ethical, clinical, and practical implications of these legal models for emerging psychedelic businesses and those interested in using psychedelics? Which models should be preferred – and which should be avoided? In this panel, experts will describe the current legal landscape for psychedelics, how it is playing out in practice, and what shape it should take in the future.
