Rubric: Your topic will be Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (and any law or precedent you feel relevant/associated with section 230). First, you will present a brief explanation of this law and its intended purposes and scope when written. Second, you will present the unintended consequences that have manifested from this law in recent years (primarily focusing on the ambiguity social media platforms have regarding censorship/”deplatforming” practices i.e. their liabilities/obligations as platforms or publishers and how they have chosen to act). *A possible example being the recent removal of President Trump from Twitter which then gave the Ugandan and other autocratic governments reason to ban social media proceeding important domestic events* You will then present a possible solution to this problem based on legal president. If no such precedent exists at this time, you will state so as part of the problem. Finally provide an ethical argument for one or two possible solutions you feel would be possible to resolve the issues around this problem surrounding social media to ensure a fair and safe environment conducive or a stable society.
*Note: The nature of this debate has sparked controversy over if is a First Amendment issue in public debate. Briefly speak on the validity (or lack there of) of these claims.
*You will need at least 3 credible sources for your explanation and reasoning however, more are encouraged
