Lawsuit Over Twitter Suspension Fails Again–Zhang v. Twitter
A Twitter user sued over his account suspension. The court dismissed the case without prejudice. The user tried again. Same result.
The court summarizes: “Twitter is immune under Section 230(c)(1) from Plaintiff’s claims [...]”
The court then explains why the claims would fail even without Section 230 (your continuing reminder that reforming 230 wouldn’t change the outcome of this case).

The Internet Dilemma
#Radiolab explores the ins and outs of #Section230 focusing particularly on harassing, abusive users.
I am a little miffed that they don’t address the ability of law enforcement to go after the actual perpetrators in these cases.

#NetNeutrality has been in limbo for way too long.
Also, #Section230 needs to change so that real-time feeds are fully free speech protected, but #algorithm feeds are deemed #Journalistic #editorials , and the publishing platform is ethically and legally liable.

#Internet #Disinformation #Section230 #FreeSpeech
Internet statistics are amazing, even when 7 years old. 700,000 hours of YouTube videos watched in 60 seconds. It sounds like a time warp, but all it takes is 42 million users online. There are over 5 billion internet users in the world today. How much of this is disinformation?
"Disinformation and the Internet"
