Description
In January 2023, the Court will hear arguments in Gonzalez v. Google and Twitter v. Taamneh, two cases involving Anti-Terrorism Act claims against social media services. In Gonzalez, the Court will consider the scope of Section 230’s liability shield for the first time. In Taamneh, it will consider whether, if no liability shield is in place, online services can be liable under the ATA for failing to moderate terrorist content. Join this panel of experts for a deep dive into these cases and the directions the Court might take them, and a discussion of the broader consequences of these decisions for online speech.
