Episode 6: Section 230

About this episode

Jesse and Josh discuss the implications of Section 230 on social media and the potential for legislative changes.

Section 230 allowed the internet to exist without constant libel suits. But this legislation has given birth to giant social media companies profiting from hate speech. On today's show, Jesse and Josh talk about the controversy and theorize about the odds it will get amended or overturned. We value your comments, suggestions, questions, and fact-checking.
