If they pass a law requiring platforms to be responsible for content their users post, it'll be easy for big incumbents like Facebook to fall in line.
It will be much harder, however, for new platforms with less resources to comply. They may have to shut down instead.
- blackflame7000 7y agoYea but that would kill Facebook by a 1000 lashes overtime.
- colejohnson66 7y agoSo killing any startup’s chance of hosting user created content is ok as long as it kills Facebook?
- blackflame7000 7y agoYou are most certainly putting words in my mouth. The words on the internet should be protected under the 1st amendment no matter how disgusting and no one should have to shoulder that burden except the members of society themselves in how they go about their conduct. In my opinion, it is not people's responsibility to be unoffensive, but rather it is our own responsibility to not let offensive thoughts permeate our being.
- colejohnson66 7y agoMy apologies. I went back and reread your comment and I clearly misread it
