In this age of social media dominance and rising instances of hate speech, §230 of the Communications Decency Act and its shield of immunity from tort liability have increasingly come under attack. Abigail and team first talk to Facebook’s Head of Content and Algorithm Policy, and then chat with some average joes for their opinion to determine what, if anything, should be done to bring §230 up to date, and what role tort law has in pushing the issue forward.
Thank you to our interviewee, Andy O’Connell,Head of Content Distribution & Algorithm Policy at Facebook.
