On this episode of Arbiters of Truth, the Lawfare Podcast\\u2019s miniseries on disinformation and misinformation, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic spoke with Genevieve Lakier, an assistant professor at the University of Chicago Law School and First Amendment expert. It\\u2019s basically impossible to have a conversation about content moderation without someone crying, \\u201cFirst Amendment!\\u201d at some point. But the cultural conception of the First Amendment doesn\\u2019t always match the legal conception. Evelyn and Quinta spoke with Genevieve about what First Amendment doctrine actually says, how its history might be quite different from what you think and what the dynamism of the doctrine over time\\u2014and the current composition of the Supreme Court\\u2014might suggest about the First Amendment\\u2019s possible futures for grappling with the internet.
