Section 230 being repealed? You post this thread a lot (not that it's necessarily bad) but we're never any closer to fixing it. Half of the videos you've linked went private within 3 minutes of me posting too, so it's obviously hard to keep tabs on them.
It would seem to me that this is just one of the consequences of being able to freely upload information online. It's a big game of whack-a-mole.
- paulpauper 4y agoIt's hard to keep track of it, hence for the past 1.5 months I have been compiling a big database of all sites and wallets. It's overwhelming how massive this fraud is. Maybe if people see the extent of how bad it is, something more can be done.
- smoldesu 4y agoI don't really see a resolution state here. Are you going to call up their wallet provider and tell them about the fraud? You'd have better luck hunting down scammers in Runescape. At least that uses a regulated currency with a centralized store of value. Reversing the damage caused here seems like a snipe chase to me.
- paulpauper 4y agoIt's worth noting that twitter used to have a major giveaway scam problem too, but they eventually fixed at least 90% it, thanks in part to Musk's leadership. It's bad but I remain hopeful.
