How do you solve a problem like... Section 230

Published: March 1, 2021, 11:32 a.m.

On today\u2019s episode, how do you solve a problem like Section 230.

Here in the US, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 has transitioned. From being seen as a necessary protection for \u2013 at the time - burgeoning tech companies. To a weapon now being wielded by, no longer burgeoning, but behemoth, tech companies to curate and \u2013 some say \u2013 weaponize \u2013 how information is disseminated.

On today\u2019s episode of the Risktory Podcast, I explore exactly what Section 230 is and what it was intended to achieve. I look at why it has become problematic for so many. And I speculate the risk road forward for this controversial piece of legislation.
