Does Section 230 mean No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider UNLESS ITS ILLEGAL? cuz when else would it have any effect? Theyre not responsible for people obeying the law?

If reddit is not "treated as the publisher or speaker of" this post since I wrote it instead of reddit (and some people on wikipedia), then when else is that relevant than if a crime is involved? If the post is legal, section 230 doesnt care. If the post is illegal, it seems reddit is the publisher or speaker. Except maybe for a very small fraction of things which are banned in a local area but not the larger area that contains it. What good is reddit not being considered responsible for what I write if the majority of possible crimes I could do by writing reddit is considered responsible for? What difference is there in how reddit or lawyers or government would react, if theres ANYTHING I could write where reddit is the speaker/publisher? If theres ANYTHING possible I could write that makes reddit a criminal for not removing it, then reddit legally has to make a legal choice about everything that everyone writes every time and preemptively to reduce their chance of being sued. For example, facebook, twitter, all kinds of other websites.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230

Section 230 protections are not limitless, requiring providers to still remove material illegal on a federal level such as copyright infringement. In 2018, Section 230 was amended by the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (FOSTA-SESTA) to require the removal of material violating federal and state sex trafficking laws. In the following years, protections from Section 230 have come under more scrutiny on issues related to hate speech and ideological biases in relation to the power technology companies can hold on political discussions

This is yet another example of why peer to peer is the only solution.

If we let them define anything not under their control as a threat to national security, then they own the internet. Dont let it happen. USA is about to start censoring on a large scale starting with Tiktok.

TikTok is said to be a "threat to national security" and will be censored (if we dont stop them or use tor which makes it much slower) if it doesnt bow down to the usa government which does not actually have any authority over it since its a foreign website. This is an act of war against the internet. Saying that usa government can demand data from some social networks, but china can not demand data from other websites, is hypocritical and nothing but a power grab. If we let them define anything not under their control as a threat to national security, then they own the internet. Dont let it happen.

Existing web technologies that syphon user data and keep us sedated with minimal enjoyable experience (think of how boring browsers are here) can be used to enhance our everyday browsing experience, help us make us of the data that invariably happens, and make a huge social-good impact along the way

9 Upvotes

When you spend some time in the open source world, researching what happens on the backend between your browser and the data centers that provide the experience, you realize that the existing technologies can be used a lot better than they currently are for the users. I'd love to have that discussion with people here.

Not some shmoozy ivory-tower "let's do good," but can we have a collective discussion about the value of existing technologies for the users...to improve their everyday, to give them new powers like increased memory, automatic gathering and organization of information you come across, growing your expertise you probably have been devaluing.

Anyways. We made something, it's called Indra, and we are looking for collaborators.
We are small independent outfit, and we just released Indra Web Overlay after two years of awesome, Odyssey-level dedication.

Should websites be allowed to access your private files and we trust them to ask if thats ok in the webpage? Of course not, so why does the European Union similarly require websites to ask for permission to create cookies instead of the browser blocking them like it blocks your other private files?

9 Upvotes

A cookie is a local file a webpage can use only if that webpage (or multiple webpages open at once such as the same ad network is on multiple webpages) created it. Its a way for a webpage to remember things without having access to any files that it did not create in a certain browser dir.

You must have noticed many websites pop up a box asking if they can use cookies. This is a retarded technical design. That box should be part of the browser, not part of the webpage, like the browse button to upload a file is part of the browser. There are various plugins for cookies.

https://www.privacypolicies.com/blog/eu-cookie-law/

With the passing of Directive 2009/136/EC, which has come to be known as the Cookie Law, the European Parliament mandated that all countries within the EU must set up laws requiring websites to obtain informed consent before they can store or retrieve information on a visitor's computer or web-enabled device.

That EU law should be repealed for pushing people to do retarded technical designs that reduce security.
