Listen to Recording (CLE/CPD Credit Available)

Being the middle-man is a tough job, especially where the internet’s reach is global. Companies engaged in the moderation of user-generated content (such as websites and social media platforms) have to balance free expression with content moderation. This is no simple task and with the push for transparency and accountability, it’s not getting any easier. This one-hour webinar will give you an inside look into what platforms face on a daily basis when it comes to content moderation and aim to demystify the law that protects websites from being held liable for third-party content so that you walk away with knowledge about best practices and tips for advising clients both on the user-side and on the platform-side.
