`Section 230 says that "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider" (47 U.S.C. § 230).

In other words, online intermediaries that host or republish speech are protected against a range of laws that might otherwise be used to hold them legally responsible for what others say and do. The protected intermediaries include not only regular Internet Service Providers (ISPs), but also a range of "interactive computer service providers," including basically any online service that publishes third-party content. `

>The basic reason infowar tactics work at scale is that our brains are wired for evidentiary scarcity (like our metabolism is wired for scarcity of salt/sugar/fat) We seek confirmation (fragile) over disconfirmation (robust) because that’s rational in info-scarcity environments. If you’re retreating from social media, narrowing info sources to fewer “trusted” ones, and breaking up with friends who suddenly seem to have gone crazy,… Congrats, you’re a casualty of infowar. If you think of it as mental health/self care, it’s worked even better on you.

heh

it's what many conspiracy theories rely upon

"Well if they said [X], then how come [XYZ]??? CHECKMATE! Obviously the reason is because [Z]!"

People going on and on about the eeeeeebil NRA having politicians in their pocket

What I find weirder is that something like PP *receives federal funding* and yet at the same time is making political contributions *back* towards politicians?

>Arguing that free exchange is inherently unfair and exploitative is not all that different from Trump’s argument against the free trade status quo.

I mean
sort of?
I remember in the early 00s, the campus left was all about protesting sweatshops and talking about economic exploitation
