So, what if sites only have to remove the content if it's been ruled as defamatory? If it's some dumb little thing like an immature comment on a Youtube video, no big deal. If it's something injurious like a bad review on something that matters, then yeah, should be taken down.
Am I missing something here?
- twblalock 10y agoThe courts might make an exception for defamatory or libelous content, or they might undermine section 230 to the extent that it no longer works well, or they might reject it entirely. If section 230 is struck down, the consequences will not be limited to defamatory or libelous content.
