Nuts and Bolts of User Generated Content

The first of a series of panels on the Nuts and Bolts of User Generated Content.

You’ve probably heard a lot about intermediary liability and how filtering algorithms can remove content from Internet platforms. But do you understand how platforms, large and small, help curate user experiences?

We will explore the rules of road for who is liable for content online. Our panelists will address how and why those rules differ from what happens in a physical world and what tech is doing to address anti-social content.

Panelists include:

• Jesse Blumenthal, Charles Koch Institute

• Heather West, Mozilla

• Angela Hooks, Yelp

• Wayne Brough, FreedomWorks

• Rebecca Tushnet, Harvard Law School
