NYU professor and data scientist Vasant Dhar joins CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil to discuss how a section of a 1996 law, known as Section 230, prevents internet companies from being held liable for users posts and its algorithm. Dhar, host of the "Brave New World" podcast, explains that the rules have not been set for the internet of today.
