Battle for Section 230 - The Situation Monitoring Thread for Monitoring the Situation of the Situation Monitor's Situation Monitoring

[AnOminous]

Also, they seriously didn't define CP and CSAM?

It's already defined elsewhere in the U.S. Code. It is rather perverse that they removed this section from the previous version introduced last Congress, though.

(r) Definitions.—In this section:

(1) BOARD.—The term “Board” means the Child Online Protection Board established under subsection (d).

(2) CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE MATERIAL.—The term “child sexual abuse material” has the meaning provided in section 2256( of title 18, United States Code.

The law still sucks as drafted for other reasons though.

And considering it was in the previous version of the bill, I would imagine it was in fact deliberate.

Eh. I wanna think the worst but if it IS ever passed it'll probably be shown to be unenforceable and it's not like we don't have any "underground" ways of posting online already.

Nah all they have to do is go after one person and everyone else will fall in line due to the danger

Saint Isidore of Seville,
Blessed Carlo Acutis,
Servant of God Terry Davis,
Kindly intercede for us and bring our prayers to the Lᴏʀᴅ, that every payment processor executive, every British politician, and every member of the Intelligence Community meets an end similar to what one may find on Chinese LiveLeak.
Through Christ our Lᴏʀᴅ, Amen.
