It's a tough slope. Should ISP's be required to screen all their clients? Then what about datacenters? Then what about utility providers to the datacenters?

It's a tough slope.

Then what about datacenters?
Then what about utility providers to the datacenters?
Then what about roads or food service to people who work at datacenters that host websites that promote false content?
I don't think it's a US-centric philosophy that the evildoer should be punished, not everyone who breathes the same air.
(And for anyone who didn't read the full text of the court's ruling, the URL was changed, the article was re-written, and eventually the person's name was misspelled to keep trying to evade Google's sanctions. How does anyone fight that level of misdirection and evil?)
- MagicMoonlight 3y agoIf an ISP was hosting child porn and someone asked them to stop and they didn't then they would be held responsible. It's not the fact that someone's using it for bad things, it's the not putting it right.
