What video

They can be held legally liable due to lack of moderation standards.

The one that addresses free speech online @busillis

Been over this, even brought it as a question to Robert.

is that what silk road and err umm that Ponzi guy did unlawful???

not protected by 230?

No?

Illegal content isn't protected by 230.

He just developed the platform...

What will we ever do? https://twitter.com/barstoolsports/status/1348760356110409740?s=21

from:james j#4229 has:

Which is why when people show illegal content on twitter, I tell them to report it to Twitter, or the police. The police will give Twitter a set period of time to remove the content before they're held liable for it.

Usually 24 hours.

@james j I don't see any video.

Yeah the one I linked you @busillis

Sent it in pms

Yeah I've seen that a couple times.

Maybe three

Speech needs to be regulated by laws not by companies. @james j I don't give a crap if they're private companies or not.

What is ILLEGAL content?

@busillis there are no laws right now, so the company is all we have. Interestingly that would be closer (making new laws) to the boogeyman on the infringement of free speech than private companies

Catering to their users

looking like thought police Silk Road guy did nothing but collect monies.He had plausible deniability for anything that was being sold...

Fuck those companies

Nope. Hence why he went to jail. (For life, I believe?)

and then some on seemingly Trumped up charges! see what i did there?

Kingpin charges, yep.

Those companies designed these platforms to be like smoking crack @james j And now we’re gonna let them be the police

Not too smart

And don’t even try to say they didn’t know what they were doing

another episode of White Boy Rick it seems...

they must have proven that he knew.... it became such a well known fact. But he did not go to jail for the writing stuff, he went to jail for the actions that resulted from the communication

Yep. My point exactly.

You can be held liable if you allow illegal content to take place on your platform.

Speaking of crack And corruption ... @ShittyKitty Where is the white boy Rick story

you could be right, except people are getting messages deleted that are bare OPINIONS

Edward Snowden comes to mind assange few others.

wouldnt it be fun if they were pardoned

Sure.

But the 1A doesn't protect you from companies.

Nor social consequence.
