What this episode covers
Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act states “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” For more than 20 years, since the birth of the internet age as we know it, Section 230 has provided websites with immunity from liability for what their users post. Today, Section 230 is under fire from politicians on the left and the right who think those 26 words are insufficient in an age of Big Tech where we live much of our lives online. On this episode, cybersecurity professor Jeff Kosseff discusses his new book “ The Twenty-Six Words that Created the Internet ” about the past, present, and future of Section 230. Jeff Kosseff is an assistant professor of cybersecurity law at the United States Naval Academy. Before becoming a lawyer, he was a technology and political journalist for The Oregonian and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in national reporting.
