Use the lecture materials and your own experience to respond to the following questions. Make sure to limit each response between 250-500 words. The word limit exists because good writing is clear and concise writing. Your grade depends on the clarity, quality, and depth of your responses. 1. What does Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act do? How was the law established and why is it important? What are some of the issues with Section 230? Why do Democrats and Republicans want to change it? Do you think tech companies should maintain this protection? Justify your response. 2. As we saw in ‘The Creepy Line,’ the Internet economy is based on surveillance. Is that a sustainable business model to protect our privacy? In your response, consider the dangers and drawbacks of corporate surveillance as well as the potential benefits (i.e. improved services). Should tech giants remain unregulated? What kind of regulations should legislators consider in order to curb the power of tech giants?
