Surveillance Ascendant, Democracy in Free Fall

Date: May 16, 2025

Time: 9 am – 12 pm ET

On May 16, 2025, the Knight Institute will hold a convening to discuss free speech and consumer protection in an era of commercial surveillance—an issue exacerbated by rapidly accruing threats to democracy. The event, “Surveillance Ascendant, Democracy in Free Fall,” is a collaboration between the Knight Institute and the Institute’s Senior Policy Fellow Olivier Sylvain. It will take place in-person at the National Press Club’s Holeman Lounge in Washington, D.C., from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm ET, and will be livestreamed. Refreshments will be served.

RSVP for in-person and/or virtual attendance.
