Bill and Venesia try to recall their grade school grammar lessons while reviewing the April 1st opinion in Facebook v. Duguid. Bill gives an introduction to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 and how it impacts First Amendment rights on social media. If you liked this review of §230: good!
