How CDA Section 230 Protects Your Platform

Marketplace Risk Platform Podcast

Show Notes

In this episode of the Marketplace Risk Platforms Podcast x Bulletproof Your Marketplace, Jeremy is joined by risk and regulatory compliance expert Yee Carter to unpack the importance — and potential future — of CDA Section 230 protections for online platforms. Drawing from her experience at Google, X, and in government, Yee explains how Section 230 has enabled marketplace innovation by shielding platforms from liability for user-generated content, while highlighting that these protections are not absolute. The discussion explores real-world cases — including Amazon’s solar eclipse glasses controversy and recent litigation involving TikTok and AI platforms — to illustrate where Section 230 protections have succeeded and where they’ve been challenged. Yee and Jeremy also dive into emerging gray areas such as algorithmic recommendations, AI-generated content, and evolving bipartisan scrutiny that could reshape the law. Listeners will gain practical insights into how marketplaces can navigate compliance, mitigate risk, and prepare for a shifting legal landscape, particularly as AI becomes more deeply integrated into platform operations.
