#Section230 #InternetLaw

"They Posted Porn on Twitter. German Authorities Called the Cops"

"The police had screenshots of the material and, crucially, had identified a lack of measures to prevent children from potentially seeing the adult content. As a result, the couple could face a fine of thousands of euros."

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.

“#SupremeCourt justices suggested Tues that they might move cautiously in their first examination of the federal #law that protects #internet companies from lawsuits concerning the platforms’ posting of #content from third parties.

#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.

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

#EU officials are singling out #Twitter today after the company’s report on the role of #disinformation on its platform fell short of competitors like #Google and #Meta. Twitter now has until July to submit an updated report to the EU. https://gizmodo.com/twitter-disinformation-elon-musk-misinformation-1850093124 #SocialMedia #InternetLaw via @gizmodo

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.”
