Newspaper can be sued. Twitter can't (section 230) because they are a platform that can't choose what to publish. But they now giving Congress the finger by acting like newspaper and still can't be sued. Essentially, new media are given protection while old media constrainted. I favor 230 removed or explicitly nullify if media show they can censor.
- bcrl 5y agoI wholeheartedly concur that section 230 needs to go or be significantly revised. After seeing my elderly father get phishing ads served up by Google during COVID from completely reasonable searches, I'd like to see it be possible to start going after damages from this kind of activity.
