Description

Olivier Sylvain, a Professor of Law at Fordham University whose research is in communications law and policy, spoke with Ryan Merkley, Aspen’s Commission on Information Disorder project director, discussing ad targeting, algorithms and marginalized communities. Some of his most recent popular writing, scholarship, and public speaking has been on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, and the social impacts of AI and targeted advertising tools.

This session is part of a video series of expert briefings on mis and disinformation hosted by the Aspen Institute in tandem with our Commission on Information Disorder to help make sense of the various facets of the information crisis. They are designed as a resource for the commissioners and the broader public.
