TechDirt wants a global open internet where criminals thrive...
Fuck Section 230 Fuck Big Tech Fuck Tech Dirt for supporting online crimes and Section 230
https://www.bu.edu/bulawreview/files/2019/03/BARTOW.pdf Everyone knows Section 230 harms victims and the public
Big Tech needs to be regulated just like any other industry. Repeal Section 230 and hold platforms accountable for enabling harms, cyber-abuse, and online crimes.
Time to sue the fuck out of Big tech!
Tech Dirt is spewing lies after lies to protect Section 230 and prevent regulation from helping victims of online abuse. Tech needs to be regulated. Tech needs to face tort liability. Tech should pay the piper like everyone else.
EU regulation is NOT censorship. It's basic balance between Free Speech and privacy/dignity. Concepts like Right to be Forgotten is desperately needed in the USA. Tech Dirt, and its founder Mike Masnick, needs to stop spewing lies and misinformation to fend off regulation. It's time to repeal Section 230 and pay the piper for causing harm to society, tech companies!
Common sense distributor liability. Repeal this fucken Section 230. Tech deserves to be sued.
Tech Dirt's pro-Section 230 arguments are pure bullshit. They gaslight victims and ignore the social harms for allowing tech, or any industry, to expand unregulated. Asking Tech Dirt for pro-Section 230 arguments is equivalent to asking pro-Hitler arguments at a Nazi party in Berlin in 1944. Tech Dirt is so pro-tech because they make money from lack of regulations. So I say we change it. Regulate tech and force tech companies to protect users from online harm. It's very simple.
That's all that matters. Nobody gives a rat fuck about tech profits. They have enough already. I certainty don't give a fuck if Google loses another billion of profits. It's well worth it - to keep victims of cyber crimes safe. Fuck Big Tech. Fuck the scoundrels who support Section 230. They are criminals and should be jailed for life.
Time for Section 230 to be repealed. Supreme Court will do it this year.
Repeal Section 230! Repeal this piece of shit law that protects big tech at expense of victims of crime!
Perhaps a repeal of Citizens United would do the trick. Big Tech is a nefarious force in American society. Tech companies big and small are extremely evil and have no qualms about harming people if it makes them an extra buck. Repeal Section 230. Curb Big Tech Lobbying. Make Congress work for Americans, not Silicon Valley. Fuck Section 230 supporters
In today's world, online stalkers can continue to ruin the lives of victims by posting harmful content, doxing content, and shaming pages online and ISPs have zero incentive to remove this. The legal system hasn't caught up with the internet. Criminals and sociopaths find it easier to commit crimes online than offline. Section 230 needs to go. Only when Section 230 is removed, repealed, or severely curbed will Google, Facebook, and other tech companies have incentive to promptly address online harm lest otherwise they will lose profits to lawsuits. It is beyond time for a regulatory framework for the tech sector as the lack of regulation is causing too much harm to many people in the US and across the world. The USA needs to repeal Section 230 or reform it severely, and adopt data privacy laws like Right to be Forgotten. This way, nobody can post crap about someone online and have this affect the victim's life. Online stalking is same as offline stalking. Online crimes are illegal as are offline crimes. First Amendment should also be amended so that it doesn't cover doxing, online harassment, and online stalking. See here: https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2014/08/19/the-war-against-online-trolls/free-speech-does-not-protect-cyberharassment Danielle Citron is completely correct in that our laws need to be updated urgently to reign in tech companies running AMOK and harming people.
Everyone wants to see Section 230 get gutted. It would be a glorious day for Section 230 to be gutted. Finally, what applies offline will apply online. This is close to the end of tech industry's two decade wet dream of no regulation and no legal responsibility for cyber crimes. :) :) :)
Not the freedom to "moderate the fuck" they want, which means they are free to NOT remove harmful or illicit content that harms individuals just because of Section 230. This means victims of real harms like cyberstalking may not have any available recourse to stop the attacks. In addition, perpetrators may be located overseas, hiding in various countries, so "suing the perpetrator" is not always an available option. Again, the dumb retards on Tech Dirt purposely ignore this reality and continue to put corporate profits ahead of personal and social safety. Greedy pigs
Hence why everyone wants Section 230 to be repealed. Don't believe the crap and misinformation spewed by pro-tech liberal idiots on Tech Dirt. The people on Tech Dirt would easily prefer harming innocent people online to make an extra buck, hiding behind Section 230.
To hold tech companies accountable for facilitating abuse, and keeping users safe from online harassment, doxing, stalking, and other forms of abuse and privacy invasions. The internet should not be a toilet, to the shock of imbeciles on Tech Dirt who believe in free speech absolutism. Free Speech is only one right, to be balanced with other rights, like privacy. The EU and UK understand this. Fucken USA doesn't.
Looks like everyone is tired of this Section 230 trash and social media trash companies that make money by harming users and the public. https://www.engadget.com/seattle-schools-sue-tik-tok-meta-and-other-platforms-over-youth-mental-health-crisis-090607723.html https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/01/online-harm-tech-media-regulators-wef23/ https://www.grid.news/story/technology/2023/01/09/democratic-sen-mark-warner-on-how-congress-should-deal-with-the-crypto-crash-aftermath-and-section-230/ Everyone wants Section 230 gone, except vile immoral corporate scum at Tech Dirt and other pro-tech groups who put corporate profit above public safety. Vile scum.
Tech platforms enable online harassment by keeping illegal content up
and ignoring court orders or proof submitted by the victim. Tech companies don't care and actively help harassers by making it as difficult as possible for victims to identify the perpetrators or to get personal private information removed. Don't even fucken pretend tech companies care about victims. They simply do not. Until SECTION 230 is repealed, tech platforms have no incentive to crack down on illegal or harmful content like doxxing or cyberstalking. You dumb fuck.
