For decades, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act has shielded social media companies from civil liability for content posted on their platforms. Recently, immunity has been tested by litigants exploring the boundaries of the protection and by state laws seeking to restrict content moderation efforts or impose regulation. This CLE will cover these recent developments and their potentially profound effects on social media platforms and other content hosts.

Topics
- Background on immunities social media platforms have historically enjoyed
Recent developments/cases affecting immunities
Social media use for minors
State laws governing content moderation
IP restrictions and the intersection with CDA 230
What’s next: is a reduction in immunities likely, and what would it mean for platforms?
