There is no reason to believe that, because there is no precedent either way for online social media as social media did not exist before the passage of the law. If looking at offline media that publishes submissions from users this opinion is absolutely false.
- habinero 3y agoOffline media curate user submissions. They don't just blindly publish anything sent to them. No magazine is accidentally publishing CSAM because someone sent it in. In any case, we can, in fact, believe it. The entire point of the statute is to cover user-generated content, which is exactly what social media is.
