You are bound to the terms of service when you click agree. The terms of service already have arbitration clauses and limit liability for the service provider.
230 reform would only have teeth if it forced the service providers to substantially alter their terms of use. But it wouldn't. In fact it would just trigger the service provider to even more thoroughly remove liability by reworking the terms in light of any new 230 reforms.
They’d just point to countless examples of documented content moderation. “Look, we moderated pedo content, but can’t possibly catch it all at a given snapshot in time.”
And they’d be correct. Prosecution would have to prove the service willingly allowed the content. Good luck doing that.
No the law does not state "we will accept A for effort" it states that to enable the removal of illegal content is to assume responsibility to have it removed.
Yes and they can say "we have a policy to remove it, have proof of removing past incidents, and will remove future violations, but had not yet identified and removed the incident in question, yet."
Think about it. Prosecutor would have to be able to prove that they knew about it, and allowed it. That is a high bar to prove.
What is their excuse when the post was reported, then they ignored the report? Or even worse a moderator manually approved the content on the service?
In other words they have no system to insure to filter out the content they say they are filtering out.
230 should not apply to a company that moderates everything yet allows this to slip through. They should not be held liable for the content of the posts, but they can be held liable for the damages incurred from the traffic happening at all.
But hey this is the reason why I'm not a judge, I'd never let this shit slide past me in court.
230 is only supposed to protect platforms that don't police content. Twitter polices its content. It, by law, should not have said protections. 230 does not legally protect them from shit. But Jews and Communists run the entire executive branch and decide who to prosecute based on party affiliation so nobody actually has to listen to the laws.
But if you repeal those same protections there's no legal basis to guard this site. Josh from Kiwifarms was ready to hit the killswitch if that tech illiterate boomer Trump killed the 230 protections and those same protections also protect Wikileaks. You know, the reason we even had a Trump term in the first place?
Shoot government Communists and replace them with bloodthirsty Trump supporters and the laws will function as intended and censorship will end. Repeal the 230s and watch as every right-wing site is sued into non-existence because 1-day-old accounts post illegal content at 2:30 AM in the morning.
I will never forget the day about 4.5 years ago when the guy somewhere was exposing all the child porn accounts on twitter. He posted on TD - and I checked out what he was reporting on. It was completely disgusting and it was clear that twitter didn't give a damn that it was on their network.
They are enabling the perps - and they are being allowed to enable the perps. Sick fuckers.
Especially when they let them freely reside and discuss under the title MAP (Minor Attracted Person).
Absolutely disgusting that they normalize pedophilia and try to make it mainstream on the platform
Aiding and abetting child pornography is a crime. Section 230 is no cover for a crime.
Helps in a civil suit. Where the hell is the FBI, Child protective services and just common decency. A species that is unable to protect it's children does not survive.
FBI has been a little busy. First a no-name actor claimed to have been beat up in “this is trump country,” then a protected person who drives cars fast for a living found a pull chord in his garage, then grandma walked into the capitol while the police held the door open for her.
Somehow they even found time to kneel, demonstrating their subservience to racist marxists (blm) and over educated communists (“antifa”).
"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.". More proof that the elites are a bunch of pedophiles protecting other pedophiles.
Twitter is currently using 230 to claim they are a platform for a lawsuit regarding the distribution of child pornography, and at the same time claiming they are a publisher in another lawsuit over Texas?
But if someone tweets anything against what they think it gets taken down almost instantly or flagged....fucking heretics. They're in on the kid fucking they enable it with their degenerate platforms and technology.
Twitter has admitted to making editorial decisions plenty of times. Either they are held accountable as a publisher or they allow diversity or opinion/thought.
They can’t have it both ways. It is very telling though how quickly they can act against conservative content while requiring federal agencies to say something before they remove this sick content.
This is one issue I really wish Trump would've cracked down on while they had the chance. Do you all remember him & Bagpipes Billy came out with that EO and gave a 30+ minute press conference in the Oval Office on Section 230 enforcement??
Even that smug asshole Ajit Pai was making waves like they were going to do something about big tech's abused.
Then nothing. And now look at these CIA big tech goons.
This is why section 230 needed reform a long fucking time ago and big tech needs to be broken up.
230 reform wouldn't have made any difference.

Terms of service cannot make you do something illegal. IE twitter would be fucked even if their TOS allows pedos.

FBI is currently protecting pedophiles because they are politically connected.
CPS is selling the kids out of AZ.

Nonsense. They sanctioned and monitored all political speech because they were being "responsible."
"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.". More proof that the elites are a bunch of pedophiles protecting other pedophiles.
So yeah if you own a Twitter handle your part of the Twitter sex ring!
Twitter CHILD SEX ring!!
fakebook and twatter should be shut down for pedo stuff alone.
Jack Dorsey needs to be hung up by his balls. Wait, Jack Dorsey has no balls or penis. Just an empty space down there.
And people still use twitter.........
Yep, typical Lefty behaviour, cower behind 230 whenever you've fucked up, but bludgeon everyone you don't like with it.
So let me understand this correctly..
Twitter is currently using 230 to claim they are a platform for a lawsuit regarding the distribution of child pornography, and at the same time claiming they are a publisher in another lawsuit over Texas?
Seems they are now royally fucked.
But if someone tweets anything against what they think it gets taken down almost instantly or flagged....fucking heretics. They're in on the kid fucking they enable it with their degenerate platforms and technology.
Twitter has admitted to making editorial decisions plenty of times. Either they are held accountable as a publisher or they allow diversity or opinion/thought.
They can’t have it both ways. It is very telling though how quickly they can act against conservative content while requiring federal agencies to say something before they remove this sick content.
Didn't Twitter already admit to being an editor? I'm thinking they did in a different lawsuit. Maybe I'm wrong? Ah, yes... they did say they make editorial decisions: https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2021/03/09/twitter-sues-texas-ag-ken-paxton-claims-retaliation-over-trump-ban/
Now they want to bring up Section 230!
The FedGov is useless.
This is one issue I really wish Trump would've cracked down on while they had the chance. Do you all remember him & Bagpipes Billy came out with that EO and gave a 30+ minute press conference in the Oval Office on Section 230 enforcement??
Even that smug asshole Ajit Pai was making waves like they were going to do something about big tech's abused.
Then nothing. And now look at these CIA big tech goons.
Ugh.
wtf children
But 230 SPECIFICALLY says that twitter IS liable if it does moderate the content and takes no action against illegal content.
Judges are braindead morons who have no clue how tech works.
