The Supreme Court is finally paying attention to internet law: or is it? The Court’s foray into interpreting Section 230—including the “twenty-six words that created the Internet”—in Gonzalez v. Google and Twitter v. Taamneh left much unclear about the Court’s plans to shape the internet’s most important law. The Court’s likely consideration of the blockbuster NetChoice saga in the 2023-2024 term also raises significant questions about the future of the First Amendment for internet platforms, a topic the Court has not revisited directly in the quarter-century since it struck down much of the Communications Decency Act in ACLU v. Reno.
The Section held a virtual business meeting prior to the Annual Meeting.
