Section 230: Legal and Regulatory Battles Reshaping Online Speech
With the Trump administration and a Republican Congress renewing efforts to reform Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, this panel examines the domestic legal and regulatory battles reshaping online speech protections. On one hand, Republican lawmakers aim to overhaul Section 230’s liability shield, while Democrats have raised concerns about immunity protections. Meanwhile, the FCC, under Chairman Brendan Carr, is exploring regulatory actions but may face legal hurdles in the absence of new legislation. The panel will focus on legislative proposals, executive agency authority, emerging judicial doctrines that could redefine platform accountability, and their effects on platforms and users.
