Now, even a stopped clock is right twice a day, and not every one of Bill Clinton's internet policies was terrible. He had exactly *one* great policy, and, ironically, that's the one there's the most energy for dismantling.

Chances are, you have been systematically misled about the history, use, and language of Section 230.
