• As the assigned reading (p. 190) explains, U.S. law (Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act) states that companies that provide interactive computer services, such as Facebook, should not be treated as the publishers of the information their users post. This protects these companies from defamation lawsuits based on content their users post. Discuss a circumstance in which you think these companies--Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube (Google), etc.-- are ethically entitled (if not obligated) to remove content posted by their users. Or, if you think they should not do so under any circumstances, explain why not.
• Discuss an instance when you or another person(s) were censored online. Was the censorship ethically justified? Explain why or why not.
