Hillary Clinton recently appeared on Michael Smerconish ’s show to talk about her book and continued to push misinformation about Section 230 .

Clinton said that she believes kids are addicted to smartphones and social media.

The actual evidence shows that many kids get real benefit from the ability to connect in this way, and only a very small percentage struggle with it.

Hillary Clinton said repealing Section 230 would create liability for misinformation.

Julian Zelizer : She seems to have internalized Ted Cruz ’s lying about Section 230 and assumed it was accurate.

Zelizer says the law was written to encourage moderation by removing liability for websites’ moderation choices.
