How do you solve a problem like... Section 230
Listen now
Description
On today’s 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 – at the time - burgeoning tech companies. To a weapon now being wielded by, no longer burgeoning, but behemoth, tech companies to curate and – some say – weaponize – how information is disseminated. On today’s 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. The Risktory Podcast is created, written, hosted and produced by Jacinthe A Galpin. All rights reserved.
