USTPC Panel on Section 230 of Communications Decency Act, November 18
 For
decades, the responsibility—and legal liability—of internet platforms like Facebook and Twitter has been governed by
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. On
Wednesday, November 18 from 5:00 to 6:30 PM EST, please plan to join a panel of experts from ACM’s
US Technology Policy Committee (USTPC) to learn more about this key law and participate in a deep-dive discussion of how courts have interpreted Section 230, why policymakers are calling
for its repeal or amendment, and what effect the
President’s May 28, 2020 Executive Order concerning social media platforms may have.
