It will create more jobs at tech giants who are sitting on giant piles of money and can afford to hire people for this. What will it do to 1-person bootstrapped startups with user created content? Try to get any work done, but have to take constant interruptions to review all content?
Imagine trying to create Digg or reddit or twitter with this law on the books.
- quickben 9y agoSingle person startups competing with tech giants for user content usually don't make it precisely because they compete with them. I don't have to imagine. I already have two failed products behind me precisely because the tech giants exist and are big enough to not play by the rules. Coming from where I've been through, I actually see this law proposal opening the playfield for smaller entities.

- quickben 9y agoif that becomes the law, whoever wants to profit from user content can accomodate that particular piece better. The big ones will be stuck trying to accomodate the entire laws on massive databases for all use cases.
