#s230 — Public Fediverse posts

I’m currently a member of the Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs - and we are studying Bill S-230, which deals with structured intervention units, or SIUs, which have replaced the old solitary confinement/segregation cells. I was surprised to see that at the Max, at least, the SIU cells were actually bigger and brighter than the small standard cells. #S230 #BillS230 #LCJC #SenateofCanada #Edmonton #yeg

This week's net.wars, "Gap year", is frustrated that the things (US and UK) politicians obsess about - S230, message scanning - have so little to do with what Internet users want or need: https://netwars.pelicancrossing.net/2023/03/10/gap-year/ #NetWars #S230 #encryption

@schizanon My reply to the idiot:

"Despite much alarm from some political sectors, the SAFE TECH Act does not repeal Section 230, but rather updates the legislation that was already in place."

Yes, in the same way hitting the iceberg 'updated' the Titanic from 'ocean liner' to 'submarine'.

Congratulations! In a week full of incredibly stupid #S230 opinions, you outdid them all!
