I appreciate you trying to explain because I'm genuinely trying to get to the bottom of this.
Would you not agree that "deceptive or pretextual actions restricting online content" is broad and would be difficult to prove in court?
- geofft 6y agoYes - but the order directs the Secretary of Commerce, the NTIA, and the FCC to make some regulations to clarify what exactly that means. I don't think the text in this order, by itself, purports to change how any court is interpreting Section 230, yet - just how executive-branch departments interpret it.
- akvadrako 6y agoCurrently they can amount to the same thing. Courts defer to agency interpretation when the law is ambiguous or open ended. However there is a scotus case now which might change that.
