MaxMin - Section 230

Welcome to the first weekend edition of Minimum Competence, we’re calling a Maximum Minimum Competence episode. Essentially, time permitting and given a coming major legal news story, we’ll try to get you a bit more up to speed than we can in our short form daily news show.

This week, owing to the coming oral arguments in Gonzalez v. Google LLC on February 21st and 22nd, we’ll be taking a slightly deeper dive in to Section 230.
