Repealing Section 230 is a mistake at a time where we just can't afford to make one. The Trump administration is corrupt and vindictive and will use the removal of 230 as a catalyst to bully online communities and platforms, small and large, to cater to their whims.
I have no idea why Sen. Whitehouse cannot see this. That even if you think there are issues with 230, NOW IS NOT THE TIME.

🥴 Ah, the classic tale of a U.S. lawyer valiantly defending a bastion of internet chaos (4chan) against the UK's valiant attempt to block things with the precision of a drunk darts player. Spoiler alert: IP blocking is about as effective as a sieve in a water balloon fight. 🙃

Hier, Bubble: Gibt es schon ein Internetgesetz was sinngemäß sowas sagt:
"Wenn ein 'Skandal' nur in BILD, Nius, Cicero und Konsorten steht, dann ist es mit an 100% grenzender Sicherheit kein Skandal."Oder kann ich das "Damm's Law" nennen?

First class of the semester done! ✅ Did I talk about how much I love science fiction? Yes. Did I complain about my own apartment building? Yes. Did I impart any wisdom about the law? Debatable.

I always put my #syllabi freely online, and as term gets underway you can find my half-year module in Internet Law and Policy at UCL Laws here (almost all #OpenAccess) here. It's usually 20 weeks not 10 weeks but I have an eagerly awaited sabbatical in Term 2. Please share yours if you have one! https://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~ucqnmve/syllabi/ilp_half.html #syllabus #internetLaw

Taught Zeran vs. AOL today and set a timer on loop to go off every 2 minutes. It was annoying, which was the point!
Context: Zeran vs. AOL was a landmark Section 230 case. Zeran claimed to receive tons of hate calls, due to an anon user’s AOL posts falsely linking Zeran to offensive merchandise, w/call frequency peaking at 1 call every 2 min.
The big Q the court had to decide was whether S230 protected AOL from liability. Spoiler alert: They said yes!

The method that @openai uses to collect the data #ChatGPT is based on hasn’t been disclosed, but #DataProtection experts warned that obtaining training data by simply trawling through the #internet is unlawful. In the #EU, scraping data points from sites can be in breach of the #GDPR. https://www.information-age.com/chatgpt-vs-gdpr-what-ai-chatbots-mean-for-data-privacy-123501570/?utm_content=bufferfdbb4&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin.com&utm_campaign=buffer #InternetLaw #DataPrivacy

#ElonMusk and #EU regulators are in a dispute over the #Twitter’s plan to use more volunteers and #ArtificialIntelligence to help moderate the #SocialMedia platform, as the company responds to strict new rules designed to police #OnlineContent.
According to people familiar with the matter, the billionaire has been told to hire more human #moderators and #FactCheckers to review posts. https://arstechnica.com/?p=1922515 #InternetLaw #EuropeanUnion via @arstechnica

Good brief overview of why Section 230 is a genuinely BFD for how the internet works in the US, and what the likely implications are after the Supreme Court issues their decision in Gonzalez v. Google.

#SCOTUS hears a case that could transform the #internet
In Nov 2015, 3 rifle-wielding #ISIS gunmen opened fire at a restaurant in Paris, killing 23-y-o Nohemi Gonzalez, a college exchange student. Almost 8 yrs later, her family is seeking justice…, targeting not the gunmen, but the #tech giant #YouTube, in a landmark case that could shift the foundations of #InternetLaw.- @cqz & @scotusreporter

This week, the #SupremeCourt will hear two cases — Gonzalez v. #Google and #Twitter v. Taamneh — that give it an opportunity to drastically change the rules of #OnlineSpeech. Both cases deal with how #OnlinePlatforms have handled terrorist content. And both have sparked deep concerns about the future of #ContentModeration, #algorithms and #censorship. https://www.engadget.com/two-supreme-court-cases-could-upend-the-rules-of-the-internet-150018225.html?src=rss #Internet #InternetLaw #SocialMedia

Good question. It should be a #lawOfTheInternet to block Amazon.They should be blocked at the Network level. In fact the same for Cloudflare, Google, Akamai, TwitterBuyer, and Microsoft servers.

Child protection online:
Rishi Sunak, UK’s prime minister, has a big Tory rebellion on his hands, re the new internet safety law currently going through parliament.
“ Under the rebels' proposals, senior managers at tech firms could face up to two years in jail if they breach new duties to keep children safe online. The provision would not apply to search engines.
“These duties include taking "proportionate measures" to stop children seeing harmful material, including through measures such as age verification, taking content down, and parental controls.”
