Information Ethics Roundtable | On Retweeting
Wednesday, November 18
9:00 - 10:30 AM
A small but growing literature in philosophy is devoted to the understanding of the retweet. The spur for this literature is a kind of puzzle in public discourse: on the one hand, there is a tendency to hold people responsible for their retweets, and to blame them for retweeting material considered offensive or otherwise inappropriate. On the other hand, there is a widely shared, if not universally-recognized feeling that, as the well-known disclaimer has it, "A retweet is not an endorsement." But if a retweet is not an endorsement, what is it? And what is wrong with retweeting offensive or misleading tweets? What sort of responsibility do people have for their retweets?
This will be a "pre-read", discussion-oriented meeting, with only a short introduction by the speakers Rachel Sterken, Jessica Pepp, and Eliot Michaelson. Their manuscript will be circulated after registration. Participants are expected to pre-read the material.
