It really seems like we can’t catch a break, but luckily the NSA also issued a press release recently detailing how you can prevent cyberattacks on your personal smart devices. We’ll share those tips and explain them to you later.

Let's discuss Section 230 this week! Ye olde Liability Shield Law!

Should platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram be held accountable for irresponsible content created by it's independent users?

Should they be held liable for damages regarding that content? Is there a difference between being liable and accountable?

The recent change in the White House has brought with it new policy ideas regarding Section 230. But they may not be as different as you would think.

Where's the line? Who decides what the line is? Who enforces it?

This week's episode of ET was washed out by the mess in DC. So, we've dug waaaaay back the archives to three months ago for this week's Everyday Tech.

On this episode of Everyday Tech, the guys deep dive into the issue of addiction to technology and specifically, social media. The topic was spurned on by the Netflix docu-drama The Social Dilemma.

According to the filmmakers, and their subjects, this is the dilemma.

From the official site of the doc:

So, how stuck in your own tech rabbit-hole are you? Can you change? Do you feel you need to change?

Jay and Wiltz take a call from a listener who's gotten the impression that if she doesn't convert to TV streaming, her favorite shows are going away. The guys point out that box-top cable is going nowhere, and that actually, as the cost of streaming soars, box-top cable companies (who also offer streaming and on-demand options) continue to add value back to their services.

But, there are advantages either way you go. It all depends on how you consume television and how that fits into your daily routine.

This week's guests are from Seventh Knight, the developer of AppMoat.

Travis Odom – VP, Customer Experience

Charlie Case – VP, Government Services

Discussed on this episode:

What is Ransomware?

• encrypts (scrambles) personal files (documents, pictures, taxes, financial/customer records, etc)
• Requires paying a “ransom” to (maybe) get your files back
• Commonly initiated by malicious links in emails

Why should we be concerned?

• even if not YOUR business, we all pay when people lose
• Imagine losing family photos
• Even backups can be, and often are, compromised
• RECENT EXAMPLES: Including Yazoo County schools being held up for more than a quarter-million dollars!

What can we do about it?

• Awareness and recognizing scams is crucial
• Be suspicious
• Personal users can use tools such as CryptoPrevent
• Businesses can benefit from AppMoat, a 24/7 managed service to protect their systems
• (AppMoat is a Ransomware/Zero-Day Managed Endpoint Protection tool for Windows workstations and servers)
