Welcome to episode

Welcome to episode 85 of the Charles C.W. Cook podcast. This is a special pop-up episode for a couple of reasons. First, I've been traveling basically solidly. So this is the one day that I have found where I can sit and do a podcast.

of the questions that I've seen asked and throw it onto the internet for all to hear so

I'm going to do that right now. But first, this week's show is brought to you by

otherwise objectionable. Let's talk about Section 230. That's the law that protects the

internet services we rely on from being sued into oblivion.

As important as it is, section 230 is also the most misunderstood law on the internet.

In the new series otherwise objectionable, tech journalist Mike

Maznick takes you inside its origins. This immersive podcast docu-series traces the story of this

controversial law, examining its past to understand how we got here and how we can move forward.

Hear from experts who witnessed the birth of the web, the lawmakers who wrote Section 230,
