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.
*falls to the ground laughing, tears streaming from his eyes*
The same people who think 20 billion children are abducted everyday...
The same people who think 100 million sex slaves are trucked into the subperb owl...
The same people who put their kids halloween candy under a microscope looking for the drugs...
Thinking isn't a noted skill in humanity right now.
Tech can fix it magically if we demand they do it, because tech is maaaagic and ChatGPT could detect all the isis content
That humans suck at critical thinking.
They believe the hype, ignore any flaws no matter how huge and flashing they are.
Like people who keep threatening Drag Queens for reading stories while ignoring the count of "pastors" arrested to molesting kids is over 70 since Nov, but not a single Drag Queens done anything like that.
People screech about 230 and have no idea what it is or actually does & demand it be ripped down to make tech responsible for the actions of others.
