Why is everyone talking about Section 230? | Tell Me More

Lawmakers in Washington are fighting over an internet law you’ve never heard of called Section 230. It’s a sword and shield that basically means internet companies like Twitter and Facebook can police their platforms however they want, and they’re not liable for what people post there. But now, the law is increasingly under fire on both sides of the aisle. Recode reporter Sara Morrison explains the growing criticism of Section 230 and whether scrapping or reforming it is really the best way to make the internet better. Learn more about your ad choices.

Carey Mulligan plays a woman who avenges the rape of a friend by pretending to be drunk, so men will take her home. Then, she scares them (hopefully) straight. But the true villain of this story isn’t any one man; it’s all of them at once. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Was it terrorism? | Worldly

Vox's Zack Ward, Jenn Williams, and Alex Beauchamp discuss how the US Capitol insurrection fits into the broader spectrum of far-right political violence in the US. They debate whether the incident should be considered an act of terrorism, and if so, what that means in terms of how to craft policy responses to the threat. They end by looking at President Donald Trump’s role in uniting disparate far-right groups, from white supremacists to eco-fascists to anti-government militias, into a loose but dangerous coalition that may persist long after he leaves office.
