Section 230 embodies that principle that we should all be responsible for our own actions and statements online, but generally not those of others. The law prevents most civil suits against users or services that are based on what others say.

That has reduced the amount of user speech online, particularly on controversial subjects. In non-democratic countries, governments can directly censor the internet, controlling the speech of platforms and users.

Both sides confirmed that they have been promoting the exchange of knowledge, information, and views on counterterrorism and security-related issues through regional and international frameworks such as the UN, the Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF), the ARF, the Christchurch Call, and the G7 Rome-Lyon Group. Both sides concurred that it is particularly important to promote the sharing of good practices on countermeasures against violent extremism and radicalization to violence in the online space.
Both sides recalled the leading role their governments have played in establishing, promoting, and defending the existing international trade order and the many benefits their businesses and citizens have derived from it. They highlighted the important role that trade and investment can play in advancing inclusive economic growth, especially for traditionally underrepresented groups in trade, including women, Indigenous peoples and small and medium-sized enterprises. They recognized the challenges to free trade principles that have arisen in recent years and resolved to strengthen cooperation to confront such challenges through implementing the actions below.

The United States is working closely with the Canadian government and partners to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and plan for domestic and global recoveries. We coordinate regularly on shared challenges and best practices to respond to the pandemic while continuing to support the flow of commerce and critical supply chains. Both the United States and Canada have provided funding and vaccine doses to Gavi, the global vaccine alliance to support the COVAX facility. Beyond the current response, the United States and Canada have committed to urgent global action to advance health security, counter biological threats, and prevent the next pandemic. The United States and Canada are working together towards sustainable and inclusive economic recovery in a way that addresses the disproportionate impacts on women, youth, underrepresented groups, and indigenous peoples. Recognizing the opportunity to build back better, we will work through new and existing strategies and initiatives to accelerate economic recovery of small and medium-sized enterprises, collaborate on critical minerals, and strengthen supply chain security.
Canada and the United States have committed to a bilateral initiative to address the significant amount of opioid addictions and opioid-related deaths. A joint action plan, launched in January 2020, helps in combating the trafficking of opioids through law enforcement and border security cooperation, as well as responding to the health consequences of problematic opioid use. In addition to our joint work, the United States and Canada also participate in addressing opioid concerns through the G7 and the North American Drug Dialogue.
The United States and Canada share in their support of the Fulbright Program with Canada. The Fulbright Program is a reciprocal academic exchange that provides opportunities for outstanding American and Canadian students, scholars, and independent researchers to study, lecture, and/or conduct research in the other country.
