Description

The Twenty-six Words that Created the Internet by Jeff Kosseff is a fascinating exploration of the law that underpins America's online industry. At its core, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act has shaped the way we interact with online content, and Kosseff delves into its history and impact. This book examines the institutions that have flourished as a result of this powerful statute, introducing readers to those who created the law, advocated for it, and were involved in significant cases. Kosseff assesses the law's role in facilitating freedom of online speech, while also acknowledging its limitations and potential flaws. By shedding light on Section 230, Kosseff provides valuable insight into the complexities of online regulation and its effects on our daily lives.
