Experience hosted by HERE / URHERE
In 1996, before social media was a thought, 26 words were penned into law that shaped the internet. Almost entirely unrevised today, Section 230 has impacted culture in a way that cannot be undone. This live, online performance questions, fetishizes, and deconstructs these 26 words that gave birth to a culture of memes, doom scrolls, insurrections, and cats. Section 230 takes a deep and often dark look at the online trails forged by a law that gives a sword and shield to online companies while everyone else is left to melt inside a social volcano programmed to perpetually erupt.
