Please RSVP for this hybrid event.
Please join us on Monday, November 14, 2022 at 3:45pm for a discussion between Monika Bickert, Vice President for Content Policy at Meta, and Sue Hendrickson, Berkman Klein Center Executive Director.
From the changing scope of content moderation to platform governance writ large, this chat is designed to inform students about the top policy issues Meta is currently tackling. Harvard students and the Berkman Klein Center community will have the opportunity to engage on these issues faced by Meta in an era of increased fracture and complexity. Along the way, this exchange will illuminate some key challenges of being a leader in a social media company with a broad constituency and high visibility.
