Section 230 of Communications Decency Act protects platforms from liability for the content produced by users. As social media platforms have evolved, concerns about free speech and platform liability have sparked debates among legislators regarding the best way to regulate social media companies.

During this program, our experts will debate and discuss Section 230 and how Congress should approach regulation of social media companies.
