​​Stacy Livingston is a legal fellow at the Knight First Amendment Institute. In the first few months of her fellowship, Livingston co-authored an amicus brief filed in the United States Supreme Court in Gonzalez v. Google, a case that provided the Court’s first opportunity to interpret Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. She has also contributed to the Knight Institute’s work challenging dragnet social media registration requirements under the First Amendment, helping to draft an amicus brief in the Second Circuit case Antonyuk v. Nigrelli. Her other projects involve digital privacy for young people, the government’s power to bar users from accessing social media, and protections for independent research about the online platforms that shape our lives.
