[Air-L] WEBCAST TODAY: Censors in the Stack: Who Should Police the Web? Where and Why?

[Joly MacFie]

This should be an interesting discussion. Many of us were surprised when
Cloudflare compromised their safe harbor status in the wake of
Charlottesville, however justified. Robert McDowell was vocally
anti-regulation when he was at the FCC.

Washington DC. What happens when the desire for a free and open Internet
collides to with efforts to prevent the growth of hate groups and violence?
What are the responsibilities of the organizations that run the
infrastructure of the Internet to prevent it from being misused by
criminals, hate groups, and hostile governments? Do different parts of the
“stack” have different roles and responsibilities? If private companies
start to choose who can be heard online, will repressive governments
require them to censor the global Internet? Speakers: *Doug Kramer*
 (Cloudflare); *Mark MacCarthy* (SIIA); *Robert M. McDowell* (Cooley LLP
and former FCC Commissioner); Moderator *Jeremy Grant* (Venable LLP). The
event will be webcast live on the *Internet Society Livestream Channel
