Abstract

This paper recaps the issue of online mis- and disinformation as a societal problem, reviews why government roles in defining mis- and disinformation are constitutionally suspect under First Amendment jurisprudence, and builds on a content-neutral theory of disincentivizing the production of mis- and disinformation first proposed by Marshall Van Alstyne. The purpose of this paper is to develop some key implementation details that would be necessary to resolve if the theory is to be adopted operationally.
