George Floyd Protests, 1968, and Section 230 with former FCC Chairman Reed Hundt and historian Richard Tedlow
When Reed, Richard, and I originally set up a time to record this podcast, we had intended to focus on the Trump Administration's Executive Order targeting Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, and more specifically, Twitter placing warning labels on the President's inflammatory and/or false tweets. But life happens. By the time we recorded the podcast on June 2, the murder of George Floyd, and the protests and police responses to those protests had become the focus of the nation. In this podcast, we discuss current events, how they compare to 1968 (when Reed and Richard met as Yale undergraduates), the insider history of Section 230, and why we should still strive to be optimistic, even in times of crisis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd_protests https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_Hundt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230_of_the_Communications_Decency_Act --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chris-yeh-podcast/support
