Litigation Center for the Connected Economy

Throughout its more than 50-year history, CCIA has been an advocate for the telecommunications and digital services industries in courts throughout the United States. Since 2021, CCIA has been particularly active in using the First Amendment, Section 230, and the Commerce Clause to challenge state efforts to regulate digital services, particularly social media websites, in courts around the country — including the Supreme Court. In addition to filing legal challenges to promote competition and protect free speech, CCIA is an active amicus curiae lending support in cases that could affect our members’ ability to continue bringing innovative products and services to market.

In close cooperation with the CCIA State Policy Center, the Litigation Center is watchful for new laws, regulations, and decisions that impede free expression, competition, or innovation in the online ecosystem.
