Difficult to balance the feeling that Mr. Zeran should have gotten his day in court and the feeling that Big Tech will over-moderate if they are legally responsible for every post on their platforms. Neither keeping 230 as is, nor total repeal seem like good options. #SPA440Cyber

[Sam DiBona @DibonaSam]

@jkosseff spoke on @NPR's @theindicator about the court case that instigated Section 230 in the first place. Definitely worth the listen! #SPA440Cyber

@AnalyzaJenkins Fascinating article and argument, especially considering public officials on both sides of the aisle supporting a complete repeal of 230, including Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, Josh Hawley, Elizabeth Warren, and Ted Cruz...

[Sam DiBona @DibonaSam]

The Brookings Institute released a helpful guide to think about the debate on Section 230 that breaks down individual harms, generalized harms, policy changes, and terminology. Check it out to get a full lay of the land! #SPA440Cyber https://t.co/o5LhymPPLU

Former Google Exec launches left-leaning tech coalition, "Chamber of Progress," including Amazon, FB, Google, Twitter, Uber, Grubhub, Doordash, Instacart, and more. Should be interesting to see how this impacts cyber policy! #SPA440Cyber

#SPA440Cyber 5 takeaways from misinformation hearing on Thursday... interesting to see how much the opinions about what the problems & solutions are differ amongst lawmakers and Big Tech– guessing this will prevent any 230 laws from actually being passed https://t.co/6ELpXmVkti

Congress Republicans and Democrats alike want to change Section 230. Here’s a comprehensive list of the proposed legislation so far, excluding one that was introduced a few days ago. https://t.co/SZkzCb6rRV via @slate

#SPA440Cyber Check it out if you're looking to get into the nitty gritty on what our representatives think are the solutions

[Sam DiBona @DibonaSam]

There's no way for huge networks like FB or Twitter to moderate content without using AI, which will always be deeply flawed and unreliable. Sure, there's the @OversightBoard but they don't make rulings on content FB chooses to keep up. #SPA440Cyber

[Sam DiBona @DibonaSam]

House Subcommittees on Comms & Tech and Consumer Protection & Commerce are holding a hearing on #Section230 next Thursday– should be interesting! #SPA440Cyber

[Energy & Commerce Democrats @EnergyCommerce]

News: Additional information on the joint #SubCommTech and #SubConsumer hearing with CEOs from @Twitter, @Facebook and @Google next Thursday.

#SPA440Cyber Check out this @techdirt post on Rep. Jim Banks' new bill on Section 230. I would agree that it's not what I would have expected from a conservative politician right now, considering the Republican push for free speech online lately

[Sam DiBona @DibonaSam]

"One of the reasons why the issue of how the first amendment applies to the regulation of social media companies may be trickier than the issue of how it applied to radio or TV broadcasters may have nothing to do with the tech per se, but where we are with the First Amendment."

[Sam DiBona @DibonaSam]

Great podcast episode laying out the application of the First Amendment to social media companies and content moderation, according to a First Amendment expert. Definitely worth the listen! #SPA440Cyber

Incoming White House tech policy advisor @superwuster's truth bomb on Section 230: Repeal would hurt small platforms more than big ones:

And the clear standards and guidelines need to be in a format that users will actually read! Putting all the info about what content they'll remove in the Terms and Conditions will only leave users upset when their content is censored #SPA440Cyber

[JackG @Jack13_G]

If companies want to moderate content, then they need to have clear standards and guidelines. As well as being aware that it is a zero-sum game when it comes to Section 230. You are either not responsible and are hands off, or you are and you moderate. #SPA440Cyber

[Sam DiBona @DibonaSam]

@AnalyzaJenkins So interesting! She's tasked with supporting business interests in her advising with President Biden, but she still wants to hold big tech accountable. We'll see how she handles Section 230 now that she's in office #SPA440Cyber

[Sam DiBona @DibonaSam]

The short video with this article is a super helpful, basic explanation of #section230 and what reform to it might look like with the Biden admin #SPA440Cyber #contentmoderation
