Thank you. I'm in the UK, I'll have to find out if we have similar rules here but broadly speaking my initial reaction is that this legislation is a bad thing and platforms should all be considered publishers and required to moderate the content they make available.

In the UK you guys have very interesting laws around this stuff. Your "tabloid culture" as it is exists primarily because of the protections your publishers get, but at the same time, people in the UK have much greater recourse against such things if they choose to invoke it.

Classic example, in the UK you can have bad feedback about you removed from eBay because your laws about libel and slander are so favorable to the target of those attacks, to the point where even truthful information may not be allowed.
