Why aren't social media platforms held responsible when their users post misinformation or encourage the use of violence? It's all because of section 230. Alumna (and Kelley School faculty member) Abbey Stemler explains in this piece for The Conversation https://theconversation.com/what-is-section-230-an-expert-on-internet-law-and-regulation-explains-the-legislation-that-paved-the-way-for-facebook-google-and-twitter-164993

What is Section 230? An expert on internet law and regulation explains the legislation that paved the way for Facebook, Google and Twitter A terse piece of legislation from 1996 has been credited with creating the internet as we know it – and blamed for the flood of misinformation and other ills that have come with it.
