Not too helpful. > Sen. Blumenthal "Reform is coming!" > j Thanks Joly & Glenn for sharing.. The nuance of course here is, section 230 was good for its intended purpose when originally drafted.. but arguments are being made that it needs to be updated.. I believe the argument is that newer social network platforms that are influencing / curating content represent something section 230 didn’t originally address. (Perhaps useful to go back and read how AOL was viewed in that context back when 230 was originally drafted.) That is a more challenging policy issue vs. just tossing out 230 wholesale or keeping it unabridged going forward. Reform does seem necessary.. but it appears unclear what that reform would look like to make it current / more relevant for today. -ron

input to WSIS+20 comments sought
by Marita Moll March 14, 2023

March 14, 2023

Colleagues, I will have 3 minutes in the WSIS+20 public forum on Wednesday to address the following question from an enduser perspective -- *How does your community explain what are the essentials to protect the global internet and to formulate a long-term vision that works for politicians.* *Note that WSIS+20 is a UN process which is multilateral -- so working with political allies would be essential. Background: WSIS2003 (World Summit on the Information Society) was an intergovernmental conference where other groups had access and observer status which was a step forward at the time. It established a working group on internet governance (WGIG) which was multistakeholder and which developed the following definition -- "Internet governance is the development and application by governments, the private sector and civil society, in their respective roles, of shared principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures and programmes that shape the evolution and use of the Internet." This led to the establishment of the Internet Governance Forum (2006) How would we see this definition evolving and what kinds of resources are needed to realize that goal? I would welcome any input. Marita
