Hi, I'm Jennifer Huddleston, a senior fellow in technology policy at the Cato Institute.

And I'm David and Sarah, a fellow for free expression in technology at the Cato Institute.

Today we're here to talk about a recent Cato paper and the overall situation around the panic over misinformation.

So just think about it. You've probably had

someone in your family call you at some point about something they've seen online. Maybe it was

your grandma telling you that she just saw that Elon Musk had tweeted that it's time to drop

the real big bomb. Donald Trump is in the Epstein files,

and that is the reason that they have not been made public.

Some people have called for the government to intervene

to protect vulnerable citizens from this kind of misinformation.

But how do we think about this in the context of speech,

in the context of creativity,

and in the context of government power in the context of creativity, and in the context of government power.

And what even is mis and disinformation?

So to start with, David, the tweet I just read, is this misinformation?

Or do we need to be concerned about what may be being said on Twitter about the president?

Yeah, you know, this is a classic case of we don't know.

This is a developing story.

We don't have the evidence available to us.

And a lot of what we see online fits into that mold.

This is content that it could be misleading.

It could be partially true, partially false.
