Description
While the Court’s main focus will be on social media services, the debate about whether and when online intermediaries should exert control over users’ speech extends far deeper into the Internet. In this session, panelists will discuss the broader push for infrastructure intermediaries to engage in content moderation, and the risks to free expression that occur when they do. We’ll also examine the issue of net neutrality and understand when (and where in the stack) “must-carry” laws (such as net neutrality laws) might support freedom of expression and access to information.
