Episode 10: A question of the 1st Amendment: YouTube, Twitter, and Fox News

YouTube and Twitter are under attack in the Supreme Court. Fox News has been sued for defamation. Find out what Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 has to do with technology platforms, what the Supreme Court Justices said during oral arguments at the Supreme Court, and what emails were uncovered from Fox News this week. Do social media and tech platforms promote or aid and abet terrorism? Could Fox News be liable for defamation? Do the First Amendment protections of freedom of speech and freedom of the press cover YouTube, Google, and Twitter?
