So, Facebook is allowed to not only determine what is 'true' and 'untrue', on their platform, thereby giving certain news agencies essential monopolies on their platform and they're giving money to these organizations.
Explain to me how Facebook is not considered a publisher again?
- Spivak 6y agoI mean I’m not a music publisher if I buy the rights to play some artist’s music in my store or whatever. Sure you could say FB is republishing a work which would imply some level of endorsement but paying for use on behalf of their users seems totally different.
- Nasrudith 6y agoBecause the publisher/platform distinction is propaganda and it has never worked that way. Section 230 was only a thing in the US because a vapor brained judge applied third party liability to a financial forum for not catching fraud with one hundred percent perfection when moderating.
