Part 6/8:
Need for Accountability in Online Spaces
There is a significant discourse surrounding Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields social media companies from consequences related to user-generated content. Gold argues for a reevaluation of this protection, suggesting that platforms should bear some responsibility for the content they allow to flourish. She posits that requiring accountability could help curb the revelry surrounding violent incidents and encourage a more constructive discourse.
