Section 230: Implications for Digital Platforms, Online Businesses and E-Commerce

Section 230 was enacted as part of the United States Communications Decency Act (CDA), providing immunity to interactive computer service providers for third-party content. Known as “the 26 words that created the internet,” this statute is responsible for the development of the modern internet as we know it. 

Recent calls by the DOJ, FTC, FCC, State AGs and even Congressional Leaders to reform, edit or take Section 230 enforcement in new directions signal a potential inflection point. The challenge for policy reform lies in balancing Section 230’s role in protecting online speech and fostering innovation with evolving concerns about platform accountability, consumer protection, and market efficiency in a data-driven economy.

  • During this program on Section 230, our panel will cover:
    • Section 230 and why it matters
    • Federal agency and potential legislative considerations and developments
    • State laws
    • Defending state Attorney General actions

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
