Summary
On the first "60 Minutes" broadcast of 2021, Scott Pelley reports on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, which protects internet platforms from liability for what users post on their sites. Sharyn Alfonsi talks to Curtis Flowers, who was tried six times for the same crime, and freed from death row with help from a podcast. The pandemic not only took his audiences away, its restrictions against gatherings also made millions of people lonely. As he tells Jon Wertheim, German pianist Igor Levit found a way to overcome the pandemic's effects on him and ease people's loneliness at the same time by streaming his world-renowned music on Twitter.
