It’s bad, but there is still some light.
This bill, remember, removes Section 230 protections against civil lawsuits for noncompliance.
The solution is fairly easy though. If your messaging app runs somewhere hard to sue (Russia, China), good luck bringing a lawsuit. Even better if it’s decentralized with no clear leader to sue.
If anything this may help get people further away from regulated tech companies.
