LOS ANGELES—Adult industry attorney Corey D. Silverstein will host a live webinar Thursday, April 21 at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT focusing on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which provides legal protections to online service providers.
Sponsored by MojoHost and presented on Zoom, the online workshop “Section 230: Why Aren’t We Talking About It More?” will feature Free Speech Coalition interim executive director Alison Boden and adult performer Siri Dahl as special guests.

“Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is arguably the foundational law that led to the growth of the internet as we know it today,” Silverstein said. “In fact, without Section 230, I do not believe that many of the online platforms in existence today would have been possible.”
Over the last few years, Section 230 has been attacked by politicians and lawmakers who have been dissatisfied with the level of legal protection granted to computer services providers, and—according to Silverstein—nothing can be more demonstrative of these attacks than FOSTA/SESTA becoming law.
Anti-Section 230 rulings from the judiciary have been coming out of multiple jurisdictions, and current proposed legislation known as the EARN IT Act threatens to gut Section 230 as we know it, Silvertstein claimed.
“Adult businesses and performers are already suffering from all of the anti-Section 230 changes that have occurred,” he said. “With more changes potentially on the way via the EARN IT Act, there is no more important conversation that should be taking place.”
The workshop is the first installment of Silverstein Legal’s “Legal Impact: Industry Issues, Today & Tomorrow” live webinar series hosted by sociologist Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals. All live events are free to attend for all members of the adult entertainment community and will be posted subsequently on MyAdultAttorney.com and Adult.law.
