Tech Policy
A handful of large digital platforms dominate the public space online. Every day, these platforms make decisions on a range of issues that affect the public sphere—including misinformation, hate speech, and digital advertising. The world’s leading technology firms – most of which are U.S. companies – today operate in a largely unregulated environment. The Shorenstein Center is bringing research-based thinking around the challenge of tech regulation to policy makers through writing, convenings, and expert testimony.
