Professor Olivier Sylvain was featured in a panel discussion on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and was mentioned in a Broadband Breakfast article. The Federal Communications Bar Association hosted the discussion.
Sylvain of Fordham said he supported the “common sense” bipartisan efforts to change Section 230 along procedural grounds. He called for a further exploration about how implicated platform intermediaries are in content creation, and said that intermediaries are not like the electronic bulletin boards of the past.
Because of their location in the market and their two-sided position between advertisers and users, intermediaries are reshaping the way consumers get news, he said.
