Ken WhiteScott Adams’ routine: feel yourself getting inadequate attention, so troll hard, and then wrap yourself in a mantle of victimhood and cry censorship when people react — is so painfully obvious and predictable of a grift that it’s appalling that people fall for it.

Mike Masnick ✅I have lots of respect for the investigative journalism that @Julia has done for many many years. But her first opinion piece in the NY Times, about Section 230 gets a ton of basic facts wrong, misunderstands the law, and proposes an unworkable and dangerous "fix" https://www.techdirt.com/2023/02/23/your-simple-solution-to-section-230-is-bad-julia-angwin-edition/

If you want a truly clear, easily understandable, and thorough look at what the Supreme Court is actually looking at next week in the Gonzalez case, this piece by @jmiers230 is fantastic. I've been following these issues and this case, in particular, for years, and I still learned new stuff. https://medium.com/chamber-of-progress/what-to-expect-as-the-supreme-court-hears-gonzalez-v-google-aa3f3007c5cd
Sarah McLaughlinIt's incredible to see some of the initial responses to the fatwa against Rushdie from people like Prince Charles, Roald Dahl, and Cat Stevens. I'd be curious to know how many of them later recanted. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/02/13/salman-rushdie-recovery-victory-city
Thomas BaekdalI have said this before, but there is something absolutely amazing being able to download a 30 GB game in 4 minutes and 38 seconds ;) ... especially considering that with my first computer (a Commodore 64), it could take 30 minutes just to load a tiny game off the tape drive ;)
Joe OrtizMy online existence and many others who are marginalized is at stake in these cases going in front of the Supreme Court.
If SCOTUS upends and kills #Section230, then the #internet is surely going to turn into a playground for only the most privileged and that's chilling for freedom of expression.
Here's the always awesome Jess Miers (@jmiers230) over at CNBC on how these rulings could be catastrophic for the internet. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/30/the-supreme-court-could-change-free-speech-on-the-internet.html
After writing about Utah's laughable "promise" to sue social media for being harmful to kids, I was reminded that 3 weeks ago, Seattle's public schools actually did sue all the big social media platforms claiming they're a "public nuisance." As I write, this is the Seattle school district's admission that they are unfit to be teaching children.
