What impact would the loss of 230 have on p2p? Would a bitcoin node operator become liable for criminal transactions people make? Would Tor nodes become even riskies than they are to run? Would participating in the torrent DHT become risky even if I only torrent Linux isos?
- saurik 2y ago> What constitutes "publishing" under the CDA is somewhat narrowly defined by the courts. The Ninth Circuit held that "Publication involves reviewing, editing, and deciding whether to publish or to withdraw from publication third-party content." Under current interpretation, this law thereby does not apply to at least Tor. It could maybe apply to Bitcoin, but I would think it does not apply to Zcash. I do not know how to analyze the Torrent DHT, but I am very confident that it could be fixed so this isn't an issue (and everyone would benefit from that being fixed even today).
