Oct 5, 2024, 07:15 PM

Hillary Clinton has called for the repeal of Section 230, which currently provides internet platforms with immunity from being held criminally liable for the content posted by users. Clinton argues that without moderation and monitoring of content on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, society risks losing total control. She emphasizes the need for stricter regulations and guardrails to manage the content shared on these platforms, citing potential social and psychological harms as reasons for increased censorship. During her appearance on CNN, Clinton specifically mentioned the need to curb conservative misinformation and discussed the implications for free speech.
