As privacy regulation continues to evolve, so do the constitutional questions surrounding it. This panel will explore the growing tension between consumer privacy protections and First Amendment rights in the context of digital advertising. Where is the line between regulating data practices and restricting speech? How are courts and regulators interpreting these boundaries, and what does it mean for companies operating in an increasingly complex legal landscape? Join leading experts as they unpack the intersection of privacy law and free speech, examine recent legal developments, and discuss how the industry can navigate compliance while preserving the fundamental principles of the Constitution.
