I think the problem here is a mismatch between the idea of a common carrier, where distribution is content- and audience-neutral, and social media sites which actively analyze both content and audience and distribute the content accordingly. In the latter case, there is no public interest served by limiting liability, and such sites should absolutely be liable for content that they actively present to users.
- cush 4y agoAbsolutely agree. I'm not sure why a governing body like the FCC isn't getting involved. TikTok is serving instructional videos of children committing acts of self-harm. If this was done on TV, it would be a multi-million dollar class action. Television has strict rules around content served to children. The UK is cracking down on this kind of thing, and I hope it spills into the US. Where is the liability?
