Internet Equality Summit to address social media censorship issues

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - Feb. 20, 2023 - PRLog -- About the summit
ALX events has partnered with the Social Media Freedom Foundation to present the 2023 Internet Equality Summit (IES) charity event May 11th & 12th in Palm Springs, California. This non-partisan event will feature a keynote debate between talk show host and New York Times bestselling author, Dennis Prager, and Grant Stern, Executive Director of Occupy Democrats and author of the book series "Meet the Candidates: A Voter's Guide." Mr. Prager and Mr. Stern will be debating the scope of regulatory boundaries regarding freedom of speech on the internet, specifically on social media platforms.

The Internet Equality Summit will explore issues involved with concurrently protecting citizen's rights, ensuring corporate transparency and responsibility, and preserving national security. This timely event offers a symposium for open and productive discussions investigating solutions that support our democratic rights and promote a free and open internet for everyone.

In the spotlight will be Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Jason Fyk, the founder of the Social Media Freedom Foundation, has been fighting to reconcile the correct application of Section 230 since 2018. On Tuesday February 7th 2023, Fyk filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari in the United States Supreme Court that tracks the same legal path as Senator Ted Cruz's, Attorney General of Texas Ken Paxton,  and the Department of Justice 's Amicus in the Gonzalez v Google case whereby Section 230(c)(1) does not protect any conduct at all. Fyk's lawsuit against Facebook was dismissed based on 230(c)(1) immunity when Fyk sued for Facebook's illegal conduct. Separate of Fyk's recent SCOTUS petition is Fyk's Constitutional Challenge of Section 230, filed in April of 2022, in the DC District court.

In addition to and related to Section 230, IES event themes include but are not limited to:
* Citizens rights, including the right to free speech and expression online.
* Transparency and accountability for social media platforms and internet publishers.
* Corporate responsibility to the public, including the ethical and moral obligations of online companies.
* Balancing the interests of publishers, hosted platforms, and consumers of online content.
* The role of national security and the involvement of law enforcement and government agencies in following due process.
* Any other requested or emergent topics.
