Summary

We’re breaking down what you need to know about Section 230. We've been protecting content distributors from liability WAY before there was an internet.  Section 230 functions as both a sword and shield and neutrality is not required. Changes to Section 230 would never be easy but the size of the tech giants now make any reform even more difficult.  Europe is working on their own framework.  Regulating the internet is difficult and Section 230 is not our only tool.
