Welcoming a New Voice
Recently, Cato welcomed Cathy Young as a new cultural studies fellow. She writes on a wide variety of cultural and political topics, including gender issues and family law, freedom of speech and intellectual tolerance, diversity, education, and perspectives on American history, as well as Russia and U.S.-Russian relations from her perspective as a Russian immigrant to the United States. Young is also a weekly columnist for Newsday, a writer at The Bulwark, and a contributing editor at Reason.

Survey Says…
The Cato 2021 Speech and Social Media National Survey queried 2,000 Americans and found that three‐​fourths of Americans don’t trust social media companies to make fair content-moderation decisions. The survey, conducted by David Kemp and Emily Ekins, also found widespread hostility to social media companies, including that 81 percent of Republicans say companies banning Donald Trump from their platforms violates the First Amendment.
