Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr was the odd man out in a conversation about Section 230 in that he actually believes that his agency has the authority to interpret the significant internet statute, he said.

In a Thursday discussion hosted by the Federal Communications Bar Association, Avery Gardiner, senior fellow for competition, data, and power at the Center for Democracy and Technology; Gigi Sohn, distinguished fellow at Georgetown Law Institute for Technology Law and Policy; Jamie Susskind, vice president of policy and regulatory affairs at Consumer Technology Association, and Olivier Sylvain, law professor at Fordham University; disagreed.

Not all of those who denied FCC authority were complete cheerleaders for Section 230: Several believed that it should be subject to legislative change.

But none felt that the FCC has the authority Carr said it has.
