ISPs Should Not Police Online Speech—No Matter How Awful It Is. - lemm.ee

Platforms should, like how we had to shut down our shit posting community for CSAM.

ISPs are a privatized infrastructure and should really be run as utilities. Like trains or water should be.

The world has been treated as a for-profit endeavor and this has many regrettable consequences.

It’s an unpopular opinion, but crippling platforms due to CSAM is a lot more harmful than what would happen if we did not have such draconian laws around it. Do people think there would be some dramatic explosion of CSAM? I don’t buy that for a second and the act of producing such material has always and will always be illegal, so like everything else, it seems ridiculous to prosecute the particular crime of posession.

Seize all funds received for distributing it, throw anyone involved in producing it in prison and throw away the key, and stop holding threat of social death over anybody’s head if some idiots throw a bunch of digital gunk at them.

Fuck off, you’re just a pedo.
