I think it's just not adversely impacting "big tech", their profits and margins are soaring while they've spent years and years selling counterfeit goods, scam apps, scam videos, scam ads. They have no liability for it (section 230 immunity) and seem to have zero incentive to do better.
- braiamp 10mo agoYeah, for them, it doesn't matter. As long as they get paid and nobody important complains, it will stay business as usual.
- Qem 10mo agoThey built a meta-scam, on top of other scams.
- kfarr 10mo agoIt’s a scam made of scams!
- _DeadFred_ 10mo agoWhy does 230 protect advertising? I get that it protects platforms for the speech made by users on their platform, but why does 230 protect advertising that the company chooses to accept/run?
- benoau 10mo agoI don't know, I don't see why it would protect retail on Amazon either, or apps, none of that stuff is "user generated" they are contractually-bound business partners with verified identities, payments back-and-forth etc. Big difference between that and someone shitposting on Reddit, which ironically gets moderated better than any of them.
- amanaplanacanal 10mo agoI thought section 230 only protected against civil liability, not criminal.
