Section 230 Disinformation Has LIED to You

Section 230 Disinformation Has LIED to You
Do you know what Section 230 is? If you've heard of Section 230, big tech was probably in the conversation. But did you know that it kind of exists because of Jordan Belfort and Stratton Oakmont, the firm from The Wolf of Wall Street? This is Section 230 explained simply. I'll tell you why people want to repeal Section 230, what the Section 230 repeal effects would be, why people want Section 230 reform, and what I think this is all really about.

What could 230 reform or repeal take off the Internet that you would miss?

[@annarmagideon]

I can’t believe I’m gonna say that I would miss the discourse but... I would miss the discourse. 😂

[@peytonsweatman1659]

Thank you for the great rundown! It’s always awesome to hear your insights on tech & policy.

[@MattHorton]

Thanks Peyton!

[@AlexHaar1]

It’s a problem when our lawmakers aren’t tech savvy enough to understand the policies they try to impose. Great and insightful video as always!

[@MattHorton]

Thanks Alex!

[@tenortime3355]

You teach me something new with every video! Thank you!

[@MattHorton]

Thank you!

[@tyroneioane]

I don’t keep up with this so having your videos break it down for me is so helpful. Thanks!

[@MattHorton]

That's what I'm here for!

[@annarmagideon]

I learned how liability is structured over 10 years ago now and it still blows my mind every time that improvement attempts necessitate liability. Always grateful for your insight & plain language explanations of tech policy!!

[@MattHorton]

That's the thing. I would love to modify 230 to make a better internet but, the liability WILL shift in a way some people do not like.

[@oliver539]

Love 💞 this video 😍😍😍

[@MattHorton]

hehe thanks!

Cubby, Inc. v. CompuServe Inc.

[@MattHorton]

Wow someone is watching this video

[@CarlosAE31]

Personally, I found it fascinating that companies that had very poor moderating practices were astonished that major city pride events specifically uninvited them for those exact reasons.

[@MattHorton]

For REAL

[@ThePowerBunny]

I can't believe people would leave such nasty comments. I get it's online but have some class people

[@MattHorton]

People suck. I finally turned off comment notifications

[@oliver539]

I see section 230 has the internet first amendment.

[@MattHorton]

That's an interesting framing. Lots of global implications.

[@PaulCooksStuff]

A nice comment to make this a better place.

[@MattHorton]

Thanks Paul :D

Vastly unrelated to the actual contents of the video, but more of an overarching question that applies to many of your videos: Is that bit of XLR cable between the plug and your microphone arm as tense as it looks? Because for whichever reason I sure get tense every time I see that.

[@MattHorton]

Haha it's probably tighter than it should be, but it's fine. I mess with this setup all the time.
