This was never going to go anywhere. The same companies who supported and appreciated Pai’s net neutrality ruling (big ISPs) are all content companies now too, and they benefit as much as Facebook and Twitter from Section 230.
Unlike net neutrality, which split the business community between network owners and application companies, I can’t think of a category of business that benefits from repeal or weakening of Section 230. IMO it’s a purely performative policy discussion.
- munificent 6y agoI don't disagree with you but it makes me sad that we accept it as axiomatic that any law change is completely untenable unless it financially benefits some business sector.
- snowwrestler 6y agoI don’t think that is true in general; labor and environmental law stand as two huge counterexamples. What I’m saying is that Pai specifically is one of the regulators motivated this way.
