[Air-L] PrObs Private Ordering Perspectives Series at HBI (June, July, September)

[David Morar]

Hello all,

Apologies for crossposting.

This week marks the first of a summer-long series of webinars hosted by the
Private Ordering Observatory (PrObs <http://probs.org/>) at the Leibniz
Institute for Media Research │ Hans-Bredow-Institut (HBI) entitled *Private
Ordering Perspectives: Who Gets to Say Who Gets to Speak
<https://www.hans-bredow-institut.de/en/projects/private-ordering-observatory>*.
Click here <http://bit.ly/HBI-POP> to register. Further information below.

Private Ordering Perspectives is a series of online talks spread out across
the months of June, July and September 2021, each month with its own
perspective. The three questions that the series is built on each tackle a
general framework of private ordering, while simultaneously highlighting a
particular case.

*Query I*: Who gets to speak? What deplatforming can teach us - *June*
*Query II*: What can we speak? The dealing with disinformation tells us -
*July*
*Query III*: Who makes the rules? Designing for better speech governance -
* September*

The first question in June is a fundamental one, “Who gets to speak?”

In July, the Private Ordering Perspectives series will feature the second
fundamental question, “What can we speak?” and will focus primarily on the
case of disinformation with three experts providing thought-provoking
lectures on specific actions, interventions and regulatory responses
surrounding misinformation online. The calendar for the July series will be
released shortly, but we are able to confirm that Stephan Lewandowsky
(University of Bristol), Farnaz Jahanbakhsh (MIT) and Owen Bennet (Mozilla)
will be our speakers, discussing their recent works.

In September, the Private Ordering Perspectives series will tackle the
final of three questions, “Who makes the rules?”. More specifically, the
final of the three parts of the series will look at who, how and why
designs rules related to online speech.
Registration for the series is here <http://bit.ly/HBI-POP>. Webinar
information will be sent shortly before the events.
