New Law, New Liability For User Generated Content: Can You Afford to Curate Content Under Congress' Anti-Sex Trafficking Effort?
Description:
Section 230 has long been a foundational part of the legal framework most websites operate under. However, this year has seen drastic changes to Section 230 liability protections, and hosts of user generated content (and their attorneys) need to take notice and prepare for the future. In that vein, Professor Eric Goldman will explain the history and problems of the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017 (FOSTA), and the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act of 2017 (SESTA). The webinar will cover the current substantive changes to Section 230 liability protections for content hosts, the ‘moderator’s dilemma’ faced by companies, and possible future developments as the new law meets the courts.
