About This Course

Section 230 is the law that shields websites from liability for content posted by third parties. Over time, the immunities provided by the law have grown substantially. Is the benefit of a free, open internet that fosters innovation and creativity worth the tradeoff in terms of criminal activity and misinformation?

This CLE course will review the origins of Section 230 to ensure practitioners have a solid understanding of why the law was enacted and what harms it was intended to protect against. The course will then discuss the rise of bad actors who have taken advantage of the law, before concluding with a roundtable discussion about the reform recommendations published by the U.S. Department of Justice.

*This course qualifies as a Transitional course and can be taken by both Experienced and Newly Admitted attorneys in NY.
