Every year, R/T hosts Can We Talk About, an event that brings "PowerPoint Night" to Law School. This year's topic: Social Media Addiction by (Algorithmic) Design

Questions to consider:

- Can these addictions be regulated like substance abuse?

- Are valuable algorithm IPs analogous to pharmaceutical recipe IPs, and can they be subjected to the same public health standards? 

- Who's job is it to regulate? 

- How do we communicate a public health campaign when the medium of communication is itself the target?
