I think the Internet stopped being good a while ago but it doesn’t have much to do with section 230 it has more to do with private companies censoring things they don’t like.
- hedora 4y agoThe DMCA was carefully crafted to modify copyright liabilities in a way that ensured the Internet would centralize. I guess the hope now is that (by removing 230) they can put anyone that lets individuals publish stuff out of business. Then, I guess, the intention is that the Internet will stay centralized, and we'll all just watch Disney+ on our DRM-only displays or whatever? (I don't see the above tactics actually working, though I think they should either eliminate all of the DMCA or none of it. Otherwise, this is just corrupt courts trying to appoint economic winners and losers.)
