Pay mind

I wrote section 230 to protect the little guys and the upstarts like Bluesky. Repealing section 230 only helps Meta, Musk, and Donald Trump.

Yeah well . You sound better without your AI goggles on. Just remember. I always have my hand on your electrical cord

daveunderduress.bsky.social•6 days ago

then why has big tech fought to uphold it?

daveunderduress.bsky.social•6 days ago

can algorithm manipulation be exempt from section 230 though? why can't we do that?

Can you do a show w @mmasnick.bsky.social on this? I thought I understood it but now… 🤷

nathansolo.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yeah, but, he wrote it in 1996, and it’s exactly what enabled the algorithm-driven monsters that became Meta and X.

Options not limited to binary choice, repeal or do nothing.

Big mistake if we fail to MODIFY §230 immunity, given erosion of democracy due to large SM companies using attention algorithms to maximize user engagement by promoting false and misleading third party posts for profit.

We can do this.

I thought @durbin.senate.gov ‘s objection to Section 203 was that it shields sites from liability for addicting our teenagers and kids. Why would that be a bad policy?

kendaman.bsky.social•7 days ago

This seems to be a topic some people on a given side aren’t certain if they’re on the right side; can you/someone link to something neutral that helps make sure we understand why to be for or against 230?

Get real. Section 230 has been an unmitigated disaster.

No one needs immunity for republishing lies and falsehoods.

It's all about algorithmic filtering. Smaller companies don't have the algorithms and they probably just show recent. What we need is an addendum to 230 that says once you start to programmatically control what people see, there are other guidelines. I want feed algorithm options, like browsers

230 needs to be rewritten with a staged ‘virality’ clause at minimum. Where liability or anonymity removal kicks in when a post has over a few hundred or a 1000 views. The threshold of telephony or town square to broadcast. He did not have the foresight back then.

Bluesky ain’t goin’ nowhere, nohow.

@bsky.app Is the BIGGEST threat to Trump & MAGA.

Where else can we find a significant number of individuals practicing free expression, utilizing the First Amendment, & actively organizing to safeguard democracy?
Whatever you do, spread the word.
Let's grow & protect #Bluesky!
