And that costs manpower, which would obliterate the business model of Facebook or other social media platforms.
- JumpCrisscross 9y ago> And that costs manpower, which would obliterate the business model of Facebook This presents a clear legislative solution. Extend libel liability to social media platforms. Defamation law is well established. Extending it to platforms forces them to moderate, keeps things de-centralised and adds a scaling limit to boot.
- CM30 9y agoI think that'd probably hurt large internet forums and other non/minimal profit communities more than anything. I mean, Facebook wouldn't like being liable, but they do at least have the money to fight any claims and to theoretically pay staff if forced to. A site that's a fair bit smaller but still popular enough to have trouble moderating things would be utterly screwed.
