This post should not be dead. It's title should be fixed.
What he's proposing is the exact opposite of the spirit of Section 230. 230 extends to everybody, theres no way to lose protection. He's saying, the only people protected should be those who can afford it. That's terrible for anyone starting up, unless they ... buy an anti-evil service from someone like facebook. So not only would it entrench facebook, but it would also open a new market for them to sell identity and spam and anti-evil services to startups. Which I believe it would be wise for facebook to do. But buying such a service shouldnt be enshrined into law.
- carbocation 6y agoI agree - it's bad that the post is dead. This feels like exactly the sort of topic that should be generating discussion on HN. Edit: It looks like it's not dead anymore? Basically, I think this should be allowed to be reposted so it can have a proper discussion.
