Facebook is paying a record $5 billion fine for its
sins, and somehow I’m underwhelmed. Facebook still doesn’t have to tell people
about new tricks up its sleeve.
Charlie Kirk of the WPost writes that “it is time to
treat platforms like Facebook as publishers” and take away Section 230, but
that means they just will be choosy about who gets to speak, like regular
publishers. Maybe they’ll put in a
formal social creditworthiness test. It would be a much bigger deal if this applied
to hosting platforms, too.
Tim Pool reports on another “stop Internet censorship
act” coming out of Congress that may target 230.
