No, it absolutely will convince Congress to scale back safe harbor. It's already happening! It's how we ended up with SESTA/FOSTA on the books-- Backpage gave everyone the finger instead of policing itself.
4chan polices itself better than most of these commercial entities. It's a sad state of affairs.
- drb91 9y agoThe difference is that SESTA/FOSTA has no discernible benefit to anyone but congress, whereas actual regulation would presumably help consumers.
- WillPostForFood 9y agoLike patent regulation presumably helps consumers, but actually doesn’t.
- dragonwriter 9y agoYou are more likely to get SESTA/FOSTA analogs with different predicate offenses than “actual regulation”.
