A combination of factors, having to do with different kinds of litigation regimes/cultures, and the fact that 230 kinda backstops it all since most of the countries are based here. @anupamchander.bsky.social had a good paper on this law.yale.edu/sites/defaul...

Reminding everyone for no particular reason that Section 230 is one of the last things standing between free speech online and Trump having control over everything you see and say on the internet

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Scoop: the pro-teen social media ban lobby group 36 Months was funded & co-staffed by its co-founder's ad production firm that was simultaneously making gambling ads
