1. That case isn't finished with appeals and there are already multiple laws in the pipeline to override it. 2. Facebook didn't require publishers to be liable

1. That case isn't finished with appeals and there are already multiple laws in the pipeline to override it.
2. Facebook didn't require publishers to be liable. The court did.
- justsee 6y ago1. Yes we haven't heard yet whether they will appeal, but the law as it currently stands creates a legal context where you can understand publishers wanting more information about Facebook users who comment on their posts. There are some perverse shakedown incentives created by the current situation. 2. Thanks - poor wording on my part. I meant to communicate that Facebook avoids liability in their terms, and of course the court determined the actual liability falls on publishers posting content.
