RECEIPT #BOB-HO
JUL 06, 2026
PREDICTION BY
Bob Hoffman“The main problem if you want to go all the way back to the beginning, it happened in 1996 with something called section 230. It gave online publishers protection from being responsible for what they were publishing, which no medium in history has ever had before... It's ridiculous. It makes absolutely no sense. And yet it continues.”
FOLLOW-UP
As of late 2024, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act remains largely unchanged, despite ongoing calls for reform and numerous legislative proposals. The debate and attempts to modify or repeal it continue, confirming Hoffman's implied prediction that it 'continues' as a contentious issue.
