For more than 20 years, Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act has provided websites with immunity from liability for what their users post. This decision has shaped the internet as we know it. However, in today’s social media environment, Section 230 has come under fire from both the left and the right. These critics raise the question: Does Section 230 need updating or substantive change in the age of social media?

Please join AEI’s James Pethokoukis as he leads a discussion with AEI Visiting Fellow Jim Harper, Jeff Kosseff of the US Naval Academy, and Danielle Citron of Boston University to explore Section 230’s role in the internet today.

Join the conversation on social media with @AEI on Twitter and Facebook.
