Chilling to see attempts to silence voices and undermine free expression. How can we collectively push back against this erosion of democratic principles?
Check this out if you have the time. Basically guy gets harassed constantly, begs website to do something about it, it escalates, and sec 230 absolves the domain of responsibility.
I agree it's a tough problem. But that slope goes 2 ways.
It's def not an easy question. To me the right balance is things like harrassment are illegal. And ony illegal behavior should requiee removal. But not offensive content.
There's a dude on Grindr who was viciously harassed by multiple accounts made by the same dude. Company refused to take action as it escalated and the guy begged.
Sec 230 protected Grindr from liability despite repeated calls to take action.
Join the fight for democracy! 🗳️ On Saturday, April 5, 2025, stand up against corruption and reclaim our voice. Join nation-wide protests & sit-ins in all 50 states. Let's make a difference together!

A flat repeal is bad, but sec 230 isn't all wine and roses either.
I dont know the answer here but I know a plain repeal is def bad.
Bsky is partially in that direction already.
Based on our current zeitgeist, for example, almost all pro-Paletinian speech would be labeled as "terrorist content" that ISPs must take down.
Too slippery a slope for me.

But you also need to give end users the ability to block that content.
Think of how Bsky gives you the option to filter hate iconography, but it's a choice. Do that but more open and robust.

Its a hard thing, but can't just absolve folks.
User control could also help here. If that user had proper tools at their disposable they could filter the harrassment out themselves.
Also, Grindr, wow that takes me back.
