Hypocrisy seems to be a feature, not a bug, in politics.

What a stupid bill. I live in AZ, will see what I can do to fight this.

I saw an email saying mine is on its way. Thanks.

No. Section 230 is a great law that helps let smaller websites create better alternatives to the bigger ones. You are way off base here.

Hello! You've Been Referred Here Because You're Wrong About Section 230 Of The Communications Decency Act
Hello! Someone has referred you to this post because you’ve said something quite wrong about Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. I apologize if it feels a bit cold and rude to resp…

1) Since this is primarily about speech and restricting it, 1A may be a roadblock.
2) FB doesn't put devices in kids hands, parents do, why blame FB for lazy parenting?
3) Section 230 as is would not cover product design but good luck differentiating that without a gripe about speech content.

I'm out of words to describe the burring disdain I have for this administration and its thugs right now.

I think this thread is worth your time. For me it is bed time, have a nice rest of your day.

The product liability argument for social media is not a good one because it was designed for actual products that cause direct harm to the person using it.

You can't say that social media sites should be held liable when their algorithms unintentionally link together or show posts when ....
I think this is why plaintiffs' lawyers have begun to focus on the idea that some apps have design defects and that their makers are liable under product liability law, just as a car manufacturer would be liable for a design defect. epic.org/design-based...

I think the reason you are finding conversations like this arduous are because you are not economic with your ideas and conflate a bunch of irrelevant points to the argument you are trying to craft. In this thread alone you start with a critique on 230 and end with a case that is unrelated to 230.

Further, Weirum v. RKO has nothing to do with section 230, how is it relevant?
December 18, 2025 at 3:52 AM
Here is what you miss. Section 230 is not premised on content neutrality, a neutrality clause would trip over the first amendment. The real problem you face is the first amendment protects speech you might deem incitement, but is actually not.

This is wrong. People can advocate for genocide and be protected by the first amendment. If you are sourcing mere opinion articles, then I will as well.

Why (most) calls for genocide are protected speech
The tendency to make exceptions for what’s allowed to be said is all too human, but creating a “genocide” exception to free speech only opens the door to more speech restrictions and selective enforce...

Aside from the first amendment issues here, how do you deal with the inherent frivolous lawsuits that would result from this kind of legal system? I see many bad faith politicians more than willing to use this kind of lawfare to silence people.

It's protected because the machine is a tool used by the human to help craft the opinion.

Is a bookstore liable for the contents of a book based on where it is placed in the store? Should we apply liability to the Dewey Decimal system? This is to say that I disagree. I'm also not happy with how litigious we are in the US anyway.
December 16, 2025 at 11:50 PM
Yeah, the subject was 230 but I understand some people just not wanting to bother discussing it.

Did you get blocked?

The newspaper still must select the op-eds prior to publication. Social media flips that on its head because they give people the tools to self publish immediately. The business models are not comparable.

Suggested reading doesn't mean you even have to engage with it. I find suggested feeds helpful because I discover information I would not have been aware of otherwise. Of course that means I need to make more effort to verify accuracy but I would rather not go back to blissful ignorance.

This person is quite unpleasant. I understand they care about vulnerable people but the wrong way to go about it is to invoke nazi language and other childish insults. The wrong way to go about it is to attribute positions to you that you never said.
