Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[NineSpine]

Boy, Section 230 just had it's way with you.

If TikTok configured their algorithm to send dangerous content to children, on purpose, would that be protected by Section 230?

So, for the record, you are saying algorithms are in fact people, correct?

It was a simple question.

It was a simple question.

I asked mine multiple times, for hours.

I'll wait.

No, and your question is a great example of how your goal is to waste time with horseshit.

So, you made that distinction. They are not people, and therefore...

Now, this is exactly why I previously asked for the most relevant lawsuits, to about all your foolish shenanigans.

Can you two take it to DM's or something? Or create a Section 230 thread?

They are not people and therefore nothing.

The most relevant lawsuit is Anderson v TikTok which roundly agreed with me.

It wouldn't take up this much space if he didn't spend 90% of his posts showboating and trolling.

Yep.

Will do.

I agree with your assertion that Trump is a fascist. I disagree with your attempts to blame Democrats for pointing out that he"a a fascist.

Good thing I never "blamed Democrats" for that. I don't even know what that means.

[Endus]

No, it isn't. The idea that publisher means "human did it" and platform means "computer did it" is ridiculous and has no basis in the law.

You could've just admitted you've never read the law and don't understand it.

But I guess we're here where you deny the plain facts straight to my face, even with a link to the primary source proving you wrong

Quote the portion of the law that says actions taken by humans are distinct from actions taken via algorithm.

This should be very straightforward, since the relevant portion of 230 is less than 30 words.

Trump administration proposes closing entire embassies and consulates as it seeks to shrink US footprint

Xi is dancing in joy. "Open more consulates!!"

This is going to cost so much fucking money, holy shit.

In a perverse way, it makes sense. The US is currently being run by businessmen who make their decisions based strictly on dollars and cents. Factors such as humanity and compassion have no place in their decision-making process.

And just like that, the U.S. will also quickly be becoming a gas station with nukes. Throwing away all that influence and soft power for... a quick buck? Not even, it'll be more expensive to close down the consulates....

I mean, not just the human cost.

But this is going to cost an incredible amount of money in the short and longterm.

I already quoted it to you. You ignored it, because you're not engaging honestly.

The term “information content provider” means any person or entity that is responsible, in whole or in part, for the creation or development of information provided through the Internet or any other interactive computer service

Bolded to help you. Note that "entity" refers to corporations, not software. Literally the definition of "information content provider". Also check (c)(1) if that's not enough for you, or follow the link in the definition on the page to figure out what "person" means.

Under your logic, when a person programs a computer to do something, this means they are not "responsible, in whole or in part" for what the program does? This is the hill you want to die on? That I can program a computer to take any action I want and I am not responsible for it?

Not too mention how expensive it will be when they figure out wha ta bad decision that was and have to re-open them.
