I'm not sure there is a 'right answer'. This is a tough question that I do not expect the lawmakers to get correct.
A more valid answer might involve increasing taxes, and actually funding a department within an existing agency so that existing laws could actually be executed. It might involve directing IT at those offices to provide a stable submission interface that would be useful for outside interests such as browser creators and website administers to direct reports of abuse to. That could then be used to actually review the content and forward it to local enforcement authorities and/or courts if necessary.
Offhand, I think that's probably the closest thing to a real solution I can come up with in 5-10 min.
- Kaveren 7y agoI don't expect attempts at solutions like these to be brought up, and I don't think a session like this is necessary to bring forward an attempt like that. What can the owner of 8chan provide as useful information about this? The relevant legal procedures for violent speech are already known to Congress.
- mjevans 7y agoThe number of unconstitutional laws passed suggest to me that they either don't know or don't care. The only "useful" (to congress) information that I can see gleaned as a result of this is that congress has a news headline to say they're doing something... which is technically information; even if the thing they're doing seems (to me) to be unlikely to actually provide any useful data towards a solution.
