A very flippant "HN techbro libertarian" response. Pretty much everything that is not constitutionally protected as a right can be regulated, why would you possibly think that it couldn't?
Yes, you absolutely could lobby for someone to write a law requiring Google to respond to nuisance requests from their navigation services. That is basically what DMCA does, after all.
Hypothetical example law: OK, you have a good-faith presumption up until someone emails you a copy of a deed and proves it's their driveway, then you legally need to correct it within X days or penalties start to rack up.
- fuzxi 6y agoYour response is unnecessarily aggressive. His questions are innocent.
- flemhans 6y agoI agree. And it resorts to name-calling. What's a techbro, anyway.
- abeppu 6y agoYou've said that stuff which isn't constitutionally protected _can_ be regulated, but the question posed was _are_ maps regulated. Are they? What legal obligation to accuracy or comprehensiveness are map-makers bound by? And are maps constitutionally protected? If political donations are speech then maps certainly seem like speech.
