The internet as we know it depends on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.\xa0But if it's so crucial, why do so many people seem to want to change it\xa0or kill it entirely? PPI's\xa0Malena Dailey and R Street's Shoshana Weissmann join the show to discuss\xa0Section 230.\xa0What exactly does Section 230 say? Why is it so important for the internet to function? What\xa0would happen if it was changed? \xa0And who specifically is so mad at 230 and why?
