THE FIRST EPISODE OF MY SECTION 230 MINI SERIES IS HERE!!!!! I dive into what the law does, what it actually says, how it works, and how it’s crucial for protecting platforms like Mastodon! https://youtu.be/_eqt8vrtP-U?si=qS5Xm4r2L-34j_ep

@taylorlorenz I wrote about this topic a couple of years ago, and I think my analysis still holds a lot of water (or even beer!).

@taylorlorenz Thank you! 👍 More people need to learn about this. Although this is #US-specific, the arguments basically apply worldwide. If we start to punish platforms for "bad" user content, it would nuke the #Internet.
I already knew #Section230, but I still learned a lot.
I also feel your frustration of the IGNORANCE of many people about this subject, including those who SHOULD know better. And then letting the religious zealots give a free win. It's concerning.
@taylorlorenz this was so good, thank you.
@taylorlorenz call your reps, the nazis are at it again
@taylorlorenz I think there's been bipartisan agreement for a very long time that 230 should be amended. But everything breaks down when the question of "how" comes up.
@taylorlorenz Oh that looks very nice - will most definitely watch. Thanks for the full 55 minutes instead of chopping it up as a bunch of shorter videos too!
(Can us Mastodoners please ask that you include Mastodon in the "Follow me:" section too though? Helps with the entusiasm a bit :)
