Somewhat disappointed in the people who are so quick to say that we need to reform Section 230 because "big tech companies are bad," without considering whether or not it would even fix the problem. Too many of my mentions are people who seem to not care about the consequences (and whether or not such reforms would help fix any perceived problem). It's just "company bad, therefore, 230 must be bad."

Think through the details, people.

@mmasnick How about this: you don't get section 230 protection if you have an algorithm. Because you are promoting content, and the fact that you write code to automatically promote racist or defamatory content doesn't make it ok.

@taoish @mmasnick so #google has to #moderate everybsingle video individually in person? Do you know or understand how much content is pisted every day? Have you ever heard of the trauma #facebook moderators endured?

How do you stop a person from being biased? Imagine anyone manually moderate this conversation?

@Stark9837 @mmasnick if scale makes it impossible to stop nazi prpoaganda, then I would rather ban scale than allow nazis.
