Should Section 230 be reformed — or would that destroy free speech on the internet?In this episode of ClashCast, Dr. Richard Hale and Prof. Ji-na Kim debate one of the biggest battles in American tech policy: whether Big Tech platforms should keep broad legal immunity for user-generated content, or finally face responsibility for harmful content they amplify.Dr. Hale argues that weakening Section 230 would force Meta, Google, YouTube, X, and other platforms to over-censor users out of fear of lawsuits.Prof. Ji-na Kim argues that Big Tech has abused its immunity while profiting from disinformation, harassment, deepfakes, election interference, and algorithm-driven harm.This debate covers Section 230 reform, Big Tech immunity, free speech, social media censorship, platform liability, disinformation, content moderation, Meta, Google, X, and the future of the open internet.Is Section 230 protecting online freedom — or protecting Big Tech from accountability?#Section230 #BigTech #FreeSpeech #SocialMedia #Censorship #PlatformLiability #TechPolicy #Meta #Google #ClashCast
