Topics of discussion included:

  • Section 230 under fire: What changes have been proposed?
  • How might the 2020 election affect the Section 230 debates?
  • Does government violate the First Amendment if it prefers debt-collection robocall speech over political robocall speech?
  • Is “the impenetrability of hospital bills” protected by the Central Hudson rule?
  • Should YouTube’s “braggadocio about its commitment to free speech” result in Lanham Act liability to a right-wing website because YouTube does content moderation?
  • Can California expand commercial speech principles to require IMDb and similar websites to remove actors' accurate age-related information?
