Not sure that's the best analogy since publishers do have an onus not to publish certain materials (example How would that work out for someone publishing something like the anarchists cookbook?)

Conversely, its not considered feasible for content providers (who don't generate or police the content BEFORE it's public) to police the work of content generators (the users). That's why s.230 of the CDA (imo) does more than the first amendment

Always wanted a "personal" website but felt I wasn't creative enough to create anything useful enough... Maybe a wiki was the best I could come up with

Care to share what you use the website for exactly?

Umm it said wrong answers only

Isn't this doomed to fail in light of the SC's guidance in Gonzalez v. Google and Twitter v Taamneh ??

Edit: "The platforms’ failure to remove such content, Justice Thomas wrote, was not enough to establish liability for aiding and abetting, which he said required plausible allegations that they 'gave such knowing and substantial assistance to ISIS that they culpably participated in the Reina attack.'” (copied from a NYT article)

Good dam times ? (Idk)

Kosher is like slang for "a-okay"

Doubling down I see

Amazon argues other large retailers weren't given the same designation, but is that because Amazon is largest or because the other retailers are already doing a good enough job (in which case no harm in the EU agreeing to include more retailers in the list) or because EU arbitrarily wants Amazon in the list without proof it would make a difference (in which case maybe take another look at the criteria used to make the list).

Imo, it's fair to ask why Alex Jones' webstore shouldn't also have to police disinformation they put out

This is so much better and more effective than throwing confetti at Wimbledon for attention

I remember once upon a time browsing the Microsoft game studios site and getting excited for the upcoming RTS releases

Not really - milk lasts a few weeks at least

Are you still on reddit ?

Yeah but they were probably just wandering

Hey I also just read that post!

I'm as progressive as the next guy and generally love the nanny state (who hates their nanny!?!) but this seems like something I'd like to have the choice to control - plus every appliance will just change to say 'dont place in areas that are light sensitive' or will just remove all functionality (a la "oh crap my phone hasn't been charging cuz the plug died and I had no idea")

Yes dude (or dudette) exactly what I'm saying is that it can't be proven one way or the other until "you have the possibility of some information being made public".

Tea time

Tell me you're British without saying it

I mean clearly there is a third option - being a knob and claiming you're always right no matter what the facts say

The false dichotomy? Id argue that's you not believing someone can be concerned about an issue that affects everyone (global issue) regardless of location... but okay

Edit: A regional issue being more pressing for countries in that region does not justify saying a global issue does not need attention

Why not both - 5s for leaving the white lines , grid drop for making another driver retire
