Description

If the Court makes significant changes to the U.S. legal framework around online expression, how will this affect the global Internet? This panel will discuss the potential impact of changes to Section 230 and First Amendment doctrine beyond US borders. We will explore similar proposals for “must carry” obligations in other countries and discuss the clashes that arise when laws in one country require services to host content that is illegal in another. We will place these US legal developments in the broader global context and consider whether the Court may be on track to hasten Internet fragmentation.
