Ok so how do you differentiate the liability protection Twitter has and CNN doesn't?
Also why do you believe Judge William Orrick of San Francisco is wrong? There is literally case law confirming the distinction between platform and publisher.
Note, this is the problem with the 'disinformation governance board'.
- nradov 4y agoThe liability protection in Section 230 relates to user generated content. CNN formerly allowed such content on their web site in the form of user comments on news stories, but they removed that feature in about 2014 because it wasn't profitable. Which specific case law are you referring to? Please provide an actual citation because I don't think anything in my comment contradicted an opinion by Judge Orrick.
