*Overview*

The First Amendment’s protections ofspeech and press have often 
placedthe United States at the forefront ofcommunicationlaw given its 
exceptional position. However, our communication landscape has 
increasingly become one that knows no geographic 
boundaries.Communicationlaw scholarship that reflects this international 
perspective has become more influential as law and policy decisions 
begin to have greater global impact. The shockwaves from the European 
Union’s recent implementation of its General Data Protection Regulation 
were felt worldwide as media companies and international corporations 
frantically prepared to comply. Elsewhere in the world, campaigns to 
decriminalize defamation gained strength and found success in countries 
such as Lesotho. Yet, international attempts to quell “fake news” and 
other rampant forms of misinformationcontinue tothreaten freedom of 
expression.
