  • Interview: Bond Benton, associate professor at Montclair State University

The video from PBS, titled "What are social media companies liable for?", discusses the legal responsibilities of social media platforms in relation to the content users post. It explores Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which generally shields these companies from being treated as publishers of third-party content. However, the video also delves into ongoing debates and legal challenges that question the extent of this immunity, especially concerning issues like misinformation, hate speech, and the impact on mental health. Experts in the video suggest that while social media companies are not currently held liable for most user-generated content, there is a growing push for reform that could change their legal obligations in the future.
