"No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider." In 1996, Congress quietly enacted those 26 words in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, providing unprecedented legal immunity to online platforms for all claims arising from user content. The law is responsible for social media, search engines, Wikipedia, Yelp and any other online operation that relies on third-party content. Jeff Kosseff, an assistant professor at the United States Naval Academy's Cyber Science Department, is coming to Mississippi State to discuss his forthcoming book about Section 230's history, impacts on society, equities and future.
