Scrutiny of how social media sites moderate the posts on their platforms (or don't) has intensified after the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. As lawmakers and others seek ways to curb violent messages and conspiracy theories, there's been a renewed push in Congress to update Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. The Biden administration's nominee to the U.S. Commerce Department has indicated she supports reforms.

Following the discussion, dot.LA CEO Sam Adams spoke with Fenwick partners Tyler Newby and Andrew Klungness for a legal perspective.
