Edward Ongweso Jr (@Bigblackjacobin) of the This Machine Kills podcast and a writer for Vice's Motherboard gives us a primer on Section 230:
Last summer, Trump hit us with the all-caps “REPEAL SECTION 230!!!” tweet. Biden also said it should also be revoked but not the dumb way Trump wanted to do it. What is it/ why is it so important re: internet governance? Who has benefitted? What to make of claims of "anti-conservative bias." What should actually be done about tech monopolies and social networks controlled by them?
