ACLU: Thought and Expression in a Changing World
Programs from a day-long conference exploring First Amendment free expression rights in the digital age.
How does the First Amendment fit in a world transformed by technology?
Even Benjamin Franklin — perhaps the most technologically sophisticated of all the framers of our Constitution — would likely have a hard time placing rights developed in the 18th century into the 21st century. Yet many of the issues underlying free thought and expression are not new, even though the means of transmission are.
Explore how the Constitution is being asked to do more — to answer difficult questions defining our freedoms in a world of new technologies and myriad conflicts.
