Insightful reasoning. The moat that Google built and maintains with privacy invasion is a legal moat rather than a business moat. A competing ad service, naturally much smaller at first, would be hard pressed to replicate[1] even part of

We can be a bit more specific to it: no automatically curated feed should qualify for the Section 230 protection. Simple feeds ordered by time (or however the original poster arranged it) with no suppression, should carry regular Section

True that. More to this, no automatically curated feed should qualify for the Section 230 protection. We understand that manually curated feed doesn't qualify for Section 230 protection. In this case, automatically curated feed sh

It is strange to see the correct reply in the gray. Let's re-emphasize: the dire predictions of removal of net neutrality didn't come to bear. They didn't pass the sniff test either. The dire predictions were fake news - howe

Now it makes more sense. Going a bit further you could perform it within the already existing framework: apply criminal penalties where sufficient threshold of harm have been reached. Perhaps even judicial doctrine a bit to better handle ca

You are advocating creating perverse incentives. A specific branch of government, a select agency, to become a profit center through continuous finding and fining of ever more wrongdoings. All morally excused because the victims are facel
