S3E2 - Social Media Influence in Society and Political Climate Part II

Jay Boisseau continues the interview about social media influence in society and political climate with Sherri Greenberg and Talia Stroud, professors at The University of Texas at Austin, and Paul O’Brien, CEO of Mediatech Ventures. The scale and influence of these private sector platforms and their ability to cancel individuals or even entire services is legal, but is it also dangerous? Should such platforms have the protections of Section 230 while also having global scale influence? How do we find a balance between their influence in society and their lack of regulation ensuring the protection of society? Our experts discuss this and offer their recommendations for the future.
