And if other ISP's refuse to peer with you?
Maybe we need another kind of law, above and beyond 230, requiring large ISP's and cloud providers to act as common carriers in exchange for certain protections.
I don't have a fixed concept on the details here, it's just an idea I had.
Think about this: Does Google have a legal or moral right (or responsibility) to delete emails calling for specific and actionable violence against someone? Or is email too private for that?

This is the rathole we're in. If someone does plan over gmail, does all of gmail get shut down? What about the ISP that served it? If someone plans a violent attack over the phone, does a company's phone network get shutdown? How far are we willing to go for our rights and privacy?
- gtirloni 6y agoIt's very simple and nothing new. If the company receives a court order, they have to act on it. Or they get shutdown. In most countries it's been like that forever. What you're talking about it preemptively policing and taking actions. I'm sure politicians would love that but we're not there (yet).
