The Future of Content Moderation - DC, the FTC & the States
- Joanna Forster, Partner, Crowell & Moring LLP
- Kristine Mercado, Associate General Counsel, Udemy
Our proposal is a session on the legal implications of recent changes to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and the future of Content Moderation. Section 230 gives platforms immunity with respect to content posted by users and third parties. Section 230 has been under attack by both Republicans and Democrats, but for different reasons. Republicans say the Good Samaritan provisions of the law (which enable platforms and providers to remove content they disagree with or find loathsome) have resulted in censorship of speech, even on apolitical platforms. Democrats say that the immunity provisions of the law (which don’t actually require content moderation) don’t do enough to keep communities, including children, safe. Add to this state laws (in California, NY, Mass and others) requiring platforms to engage in more content moderation or track their moderation policies and decisions. Our session will discuss recent developments in the law and provide practical tips for platforms amidst legislative and agency led change, and the likely court battles ahead.
