Glad for the #supremecourt ruling on #Section230. If you want to hold #bigtech accountable, believe me #taamneh and #gonzales are not it.

Summing up some of my thoughts from the week, here’s a quick and dirty post about #Gonzalez, #Taamneh, and Section 230's Interpretive Debt (h/t to @kendraserra for emphasizing the term), which highlights the possible implications of 230 reform not just for platforms and users, but to courts and the judicial system. https://blakereid.org/gonzalez-taamneh-and-section-230s-interpretive-debt/
Following #Taamneh a little bit today: I think the Justices are also realizing in realtime that #Section230 performs a pretty useful institutional service: it stops courts from having to do the ol’ Internet law slog of applying every complex old law to every complex new Internet platform, which is painful even when you are ignoring the 1A overhang (H/T @evelyndouek). 230's allowed the courts to accumulate 25 years of interpretive debt, and having to pay it off all at once would suck.
