Wait until some far-alt-right starts pushing some conspiracy theory or outright racist content.
"This holocaust denial was brought to you by the California Legislature that prohibits social media platforms from deciding to ban this content".
- jasonlotito 3y ago"This section does not prohibit a covered platform from, and does not impose liability on a covered platform for, enforcing its terms of service against an eligible journalism provider."
- nullc 3y ago"Our TOS prohibits charging for inbound links." Solved.
- jasonlotito 3y agoHow does that solve the comment I was replying to? The concern that content the provider wouldn't want on their site would have to display it? Your comment doesn't "solve" anything. Did you reply to the right comment?
- hellojesus 3y agoThey were saying that if TOS supercedes this law, then you could get around the de-linking retaliation by updating your TOS to forbid charging for link sharing. It was an extension of your statement applied back onto the law, not a rebuttle against your claim that content would no longer be moderated-able.
- nullc 3y agoExactly. To the extent that the TOS carveout protects sites free speech it also moots the law's anti-"retaliation" provision. We need to fire state legislators that promote plainly unconstitutional laws, it's both professionally incompetent and a violation of their oath of office ( https://www.documents.dgs.ca.gov/dgs/fmc/pdf/std688.pdf https://www.documents.dgs.ca.gov/dgs/fmc/pdf/std688.pdf ). But hey, if they're going to advance unconstitutional laws it's at least polite that they're so incompetently drafted that they're self mooting.
