A professor tries to turn the tables on Section 230’s web protections
Manage episode 419597107 series 1318949
The internet today is largely governed by 26 words in the Communications Decency Act, signed on Feb. 8, 1996, by then-President Bill Clinton. “Today, with the stroke of a pen, our laws will catch up with our future,” he proclaimed during the signing of the act. The web has changed a bit since then. But Section 230 of that law has not. Today, social media companies routinely use Section 230 to protect themselves from liability over what users post. Now, an internet scholar wants to change that. Will Oremus wrote about him for The Washington Post.
Our May fundraiser ends Friday, and we need your help to reach our goal. Give today and help fund public service journalism for all!
