About the event
Should libraries, archives and museums be concerned about potential amendments to Section 230 and if so, why? Currently, section 230 exempts social media platforms from being responsible for the content that they host. Congress is examining the viability of this exemption and considering stricter liability for hosted and moderated content. Join faculty to learn about the copyright adjacent issue of section 230, potential amendments and implications for cultural heritage organizations participating in social media. Join panelists Katherine Klosek, Director Information Policy and Federal Relations, ARL, Scott Wilkens, Senior Counsel, Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University and Emily Haight , Senior Social Media Manager at the New-York Historical Society, to learn about the complexity of library, archive and museum social media participation, the proposed changes and the impact they may have on cultural heritage organizations.
