Well, we can hope.
Unfortunately tech billionaires are still rich and delusional. Will there be any type of reckoning? Most likely not. They will just double down.
We need to make the reckoning happen and stop giving them money.
I tried to read the whole article but couldn’t finish.
> “The era of big tech invincibility is over,” said the Tech Oversight Project, a Washington DC watchdog that styles itself as a David to Silicon Valley’s Goliath.
If you are only playing catch up, you will always be behind.
Through combination of over abundance of resources and collective intelligence, big tech does have very good effective foresight. Starting to plug yesterday’s gaps is very far from ending „invincibility“. Never confuse the battle for the war.
MFW I figure out big tech is also funding and pushing age verification alongside governments and fundamentalist groups across the globe. Yesterday was not a win for the everyday person, it was setting dangerous precedent that will be leveraged to squash and punish free speech.
Lol brought to heel? Thats an Armstrong of a stretch.
I wouldn’t be celebrating yet.. the appeal process will be long.
Pay up Reddit. I’m addicted. Just look at my profile for proof
genuinely hilarious, alternate universe tier headline lol
Now let’s revise Section 230 for the better too. Section 230 is not First Amendment of Internet like propaganda by some idiots but more like „Get out if jail card“ for Social Media companies (and other companies) to lined their pockets with dark money influencing our politics (most likely foreign source and possibly illegal )and spread false information.
Seems premature to chant victory before all the appeals.
That’s good, but addictive content is not the biggest problem. It’s the users‘ privacy problem.
Pitbulls get put down for less.
Yea if I got fined roughly 35cents every time I robbed a bank I’d totally feel like I was being “brought to heel”
While this is a loss of money in the short term for Meta, I’m worried this’ll help them to possibly win in the long run by giving fuel to the fire that is age verification laws that have been heavily lobbied for by Meta plus the repealing of section 230.
They look like the bad guys for exposing children to addictive algorithms and „harmful content,“ thus emboldening the government’s desire for us all to be forced into giving up our government IDs to these sites for „child safety.“ And if this causes section 230 to get repealed, it means over-censorship of social media platforms and basically means the complete end of free speech on the internet.
So yeah, this isn’t actually a win like some us might be thinking…
As long as this facist US regime knows they need them for their propoganda and influence on elections, nothing will change as long as they are in power. You really think they’re going to regulate X or TikTok? They own those platforms themselves. Zuckerbergs doesn’t give a fuck, he has struggled ck a deal with Adolf Trump so he gets carte blanche to do as he pleases with his AI projects without any regulation. In return he is in the GOP camp. To think this one judge is going to stop them? Heck they own the Supreme Court as well, they all feel untouchable.
