  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Ah yisss...

  it doesnt make me wonder one bit. they know it. you know they know it... i know they know it... they know they know it...
  but thats not the problem. knowing that they know it and being able to PROVE they know it in a court of law are two completely different things. and even if you could prove they knew it.... so what? they basically scammed millions for years doing this kinda crap and if they get caught... they get fined a minor percentage of what they pulled in.
  
  all CEOs know this is being done and its being done deliberately because it makes money... even if they get caught red handed and get fined, they're still going to have more money in the end.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: 10 steps to Fascism..

  no, your assuming that any negativity is all liberal hate. yes, i agree there is such a thing but thats NOT whats going on in all cases and to blindly assume/accept that it is is one of the major problems that led us down this sorry road we are on currently.
  
  you also come off as suggesting that i see all issues as being the same thing, and clearly they are not, i also said nothing about russian sex and hacking so im not quite sure why you are including it in your reply to me unless its a separate thought that was just not clearly laid out as such?

  Re: Re: Re: Re: 10 steps to Fascism..

  its not all hypocritical liberal hate. while i did not vote for him, i was firmly in the camp of, lets really find out what he actually is going to do first before we all go down the path of being an idiot calling for impeachment before he has even been sworn in.
  
  i am currently horrified by his actions and he is, in my mind, the biggest threat to national security since bin laden got a bug up his ass.
  
  i tend to vote republican and have my entire life.... so... liberal hate? no. genuine and legitimate concern.

  Re: Re: Re: No tax returns, no presidency... You're fired Mr. Scrotum...

  at this point i couldnt care less about his tax returns. he is business tycoon with multiple failed businesses. there is going to be plenty there for everyone to freak out about and would only serve to distract from the larger issues that we have now. those being; this man is clearly not fit to run any branch of government at any level.
  
  stop following the circus and the lights and lets discuss the real topics of a president attempting to use unconstitutional and unethical means to reach his ends.

  you are incredibly wrong.

  Re: Re:

  I think the distinction is what the main focus of airbnb is.
  
  the state doesnt regulate me selling my guitar. i can use any number of sites that will allow me to list it either free of charge or for a small fee. But they dont focus on selling only guitars so if someone decides to advertise hooker and blow parties on the go, they are protected by section 230.
  
  airbnb does not have any other function though. since motels and hotels are regulated, and this is the sole purpose of airbnb, it too should fall under the same regulations as motel 6. since i could be advertising a place for rent that included hooker and blow parties- airbnb would have section 230 protections against the hooker and blow party part... but they are still functioning in their one single design of connecting people looking to rent their space with people looking to rent spaces and in that specific function, they would not qualify for 230 protections.
  
  
  course thats just my own personal viewpoint and im no laywer.

  and it wont matter in any way.... it isnt the news sites that took the action, its legislation.
  Sure they will run back to google screaming for them to turn it back up... but the spanish govt has pretty much forced google into the position with no alternative way out.
