11/18 Webinar: Anderson v. TikTok: Limiting Liability Immunity for Social Media Companies?
A Freedom of Thought Webinar
Monday, November 18, 2024
1 PM – 2:30 PM ET
This summer, the Third Circuit published an opinion in Anderson v. TikTok holding that social media companies’ algorithms prioritizing and sorting of user-created content are not immune from liability under § 230. Is this decision correct? How does it relate to the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Net Choice concerning the First Amendment rights of social media companies? How do historic regulations of common carriers fit into the picture? Do social media companies’ products operate in a “regulation free” zone in which they have statutory immunity from all liability and First Amendment protection from all regulation? The panel will discuss these topics and more.
