Re:Section 230 is Good, Actually on Saturday December 05, 2020 @07:26AM (#25314038)
Book publishers and magazines aren’t held to a very serious standard these days.

This isn’t the UK; free speech in the US is number 1.

It’s far more fundamental than any legislation will fix. America is built on aristocratic protectionism like every other nation. Things like the Constitution allowing for copyright protection for a limited time is made effectively forever given the perspective of an average human life span.

It will always end up being gamed.

Personally, I’m tuning out more from consumerism and “the tech industry”. Even before covid I’d grown sick of what became circular debates over big O and comp sci 101 in tech, and routine office life.

I’m learning musical instruments and writing creatively. Ditched my TV. Things like 230 are useful for big tech Corp. Not me. Let them defend it. I’m not interested in performing unpaid political lobbying for them.

“I wrote a book on how PM is hard. It starts by hiring the right people. Of course, I wrote a book detailing how all the people involved at scale keep screwing it up. Buy my book.”

This a circular advertisement for a book.

I am guessing it’s more to with how most organize socially for human emotional reasons first and tacitly don’t give a shit about ephemeral nonsense except to play “Society: The Board Game”.

Politicking intended to send a message to Georgia: the House is willing. Are you?

For game players, the tech scene sure is anti-politics. Somehow all those smarts are lost on the fact these folks are manipulating your free market giving billions for free to entrenched employers.

Social life is nothing but political choices; rather than engage the government we are told to engage the middle men they fund.

Let freedom ring.
