Liberals really have to fuck everything up. Just couldn't be happy with what you had. But nope had to ruin it for everybody because they don't think like you.

This won't even solve the issue as anti trust would have made better sense.

And payment processors pulling bullshit like banning people is a even bigger issue.

The 230 shit is all conservatives.

The proposal first seeks to address the problem of companies claiming Section 230 immunity despite the fact that they are actively facilitating or soliciting illegal content. That includes, for instance, websites that exist for the sole purpose of hosting revenge porn or illegal gun sales. This, the DOJ argues, was never the intention of Section 230, which was written to enable "good samaritans" to block bad behavior, but protect them when they miss things or when they take down content they shouldn't have.

The bad samaritan exception has been promoted by some of Section 230's most prominent reformers. In a 2017 paper, Section 230 scholar and Boston University professor Danielle Citron and Benjamin Wittes, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, argued that "bad samaritans" should be denied immunity, and that companies should have to demonstrate they used a "reasonable standard of care" in removing violative content.

The DOJ's proposal would strip immunity from these bad samaritans that intentionally seek out illicit content. That, of course, applies to a smaller subset of bad actors.

But the proposal would also create a carveout from immunity for instances in which companies fail to take reasonable steps against particularly egregious content, like child sexual abuse material, terrorist content, and cyberstalking, all of which takes place on mainstream platforms like Facebook.

You want them to exist anyway so you can tlak about them.

I think this is going to result in Libertarian tech-nerds abandoning the World Wide Web for something normies can't figure out. Maybe something peer-to-peer and encrypted that is protected from prying outsiders.

I hope someone leaves me instructions when that happens. I live here.

A while back, I had a peek at USENET to see if there were any possibilities there. It's weirdest mix of spam, mysterious encrypted gibberish, conversation fragments from years ago. It creeped me out, honestly.

first, your reading comprehension is poor and I didn't say "only." second, burden of proof is not on me to show that mass, vaguely worded censorship law to stop wrongthink is a bad idea.

your lack of awareness in supporting this revision on kf of all places is staggering.

I just find it funny when people like you demand something, and then when you get it, you get upset about it.

because there are already enough laws on the books to charge celebs doxing and offering compensation for murder of private citizens, yet it always doesn't seem to apply to left leaning assholes, and even if it does, it seems like left leaning judges always let them get away with it. Right, not so much, because right is cucked and left, even with their little soy balls still have advantage that they are not above any hypocricy or terrorism.

The mysterious encrypted gibberish are generally small fragments of movies and stuff because most people use Usenet nowadays to download shit. Usenet is a text based medium, but eventually as the internet and computers got faster people wanted to share files. So a method was devised where data, generally a multi-part .rar containing what you want, is broken down and encoded into a shitload of text-posts. The instructions to pull all the text and reassemble it into .rar files so your computer can decompress and use it is distributed via NZB files.

I've found a few newsgroups that get a handful of posts a year. Nothing worth writing home about. Mostly people complaining about "Moslims" and Trump in political newsgroups and a few people making a half dozen or so posts a year in computer and video game newsgroups. The more general stuff has been abandoned to file sharing.

It has bipartisan support because the end results is another tool to bury discussion online, and you can expect both parties to make frequent use of any such tool.

I was strictly in the text-only newsgroups and the encrypted bits were very short. They looked like keys of some kind.

I did learn about the binaries, though, you're right. You usually pay a monthly fee for those servers and are given tens of gigs of storage, so I made the assumption it was piracy on a grand scale. Why people choose to do that rather than torrent for free, I do not know. I stopped digging at that point.

It's weird because they're fighting, but both want pretty much the same thing, but for different reasons.

The Republicans want to destroy 230 so they can force big tech to stop being mean to them, the Democrats want to destroy 230 to send random internet trolls to prison.

It would be a Chad move for sho; however, I just keep hearing "the greatest generation" bitch about their kids and grandkids that THEY raised to be utter fuck-up good for nothings and all the rights that were eroded during their lifetime certainly wasn't "great". I think that their biggest fault is keeping their tongues up their own ass (as a Slav would say) and try not to be judgemental or controvercial.
