EFF! She's tough! I doubt older democrats would ask such questions ffr Oct 2019 #4
Agree 100% triron Oct 2019 #6
She did a good job, made him squirm as he struggled to not take any responsibility... brush Oct 2019 #5
Should DU have fact checkers? X_Digger Oct 2019 #8
I appreciate the problem. Setting the parameters for such regulation would be difficult. TomSlick Oct 2019 #10
There's no carve-out for internet sites.. X_Digger Oct 2019 #14
See 47 U.S.C. 230(c)(1) TomSlick Oct 2019 #24
Exclusion from a liability that they already were exempt from. X_Digger Oct 2019 #41
One last attempt to explain my position. TomSlick Oct 2019 #65
No, you can't sue CNN if an asshole libels you on air. X_Digger Oct 2019 #66
You are partially correct. TomSlick Oct 2019 #67
So, I'll ask what I asked before. Do you want fact-checkers on your posts here at DU? X_Digger Oct 2019 #68
Seriatum TomSlick Oct 2019 #69
Do you think customs, laws and industry standards came into play instantly in... brush Oct 2019 #11
The government has no power to regulate the content of speech on a private website. Period. X_Digger Oct 2019 #15
OK, I get it. You have no problem with facebook allowing whatever untruths... brush Oct 2019 #19
What part of, 'the government has no power' do you not get? X_Digger Oct 2019 #20
Get past the government will you. It's about industry standards and pride in publishing... brush Oct 2019 #21
No, it isn't. You didn't watch the hearing today, did you? Not just the linked excerpt above. X_Digger Oct 2019 #22
I watched AOC question his sorry ass, and I've been a journalist for 25 years. brush Oct 2019 #23
publisher or conduit? Hermit-The-Prog Oct 2019 #28
Right. A conduit for winger/Russian bot crap. brush Oct 2019 #29
doesn't really matter -- see 47 U.S. Code Section 230 Hermit-The-Prog Oct 2019 #30
Yes, it's up to him. He doesn't have to run it. Seems he just doesn't want to be... brush Oct 2019 #31
Then you either missed it or you're being disingenuous. X_Digger Oct 2019 #37
Is there a comprehension problem? Government either does what it can or can't. brush Oct 2019 #47
And in this case, it can't, much to AOC's eventual chagrin. n/t X_Digger Oct 2019 #51
So what's your solution ? lostnfound Oct 2019 #34
The answer to speech you don't like is more speech, not regulation. n/t X_Digger Oct 2019 #38
Facebook algorithms push duplicates of dangerous speech lostnfound Oct 2019 #44
Then speak louder. Organize. Educate. X_Digger Oct 2019 #49
What's an X digger anyway? lostnfound Oct 2019 #61
I used to think that way. Then I finally understood the difference. lostnfound Oct 2019 #62
Then encourage others do do so. Help organize. Donate time. *shrug* n/t X_Digger Oct 2019 #63
sure they have the power. apply libel laws of publishers to fb. a few winning lawsuits. fixed. Kurt V. Oct 2019 #52
A court would dismiss it the first day.. X_Digger Oct 2019 #53
not the same. my idiot bil doesn't affect billions of ppl. c'mon. Kurt V. Oct 2019 #55
No, but the concept is the same. Size has no impact on whether or not the gov't has the power. n/t X_Digger Oct 2019 #57
Don't you think size of audience of influence weighs heavily on many decisions in history? Kurt V. Oct 2019 #58
We're talking about government power. X_Digger Oct 2019 #59
the govt does this already. like with LAWS in libel in publishing, which was my original Kurt V. Oct 2019 #60
So, libel only applies when you do it in front of 50k people? X_Digger Oct 2019 #64
DU is not "fundamentally the same" as FB, which has a billion users. Anarchy doesn't work ... Hekate Oct 2019 #32
A good comparison to an oil spill polluting a public beach. Nt lostnfound Oct 2019 #35
DU is a public website. We have a TOS. Facebook is a public website, with a TOS. X_Digger Oct 2019 #39
Not a good comparison. DU doesn't sell advertisng or collect user data Merlot Oct 2019 #33
You may not see it, due to blockers / donation, but DU does have ads. X_Digger Oct 2019 #40
FB is paid by the advertisers, DU only gets paid when a user clicks on an ad Merlot Oct 2019 #45
DU gets paid per impression- just seeing the ad generates revenue. Yes, clicks more $. X_Digger Oct 2019 #50
It amazes me that AOC is smarter than 99% of the men, 100% of the Repubs in DC and now... JoeOtterbein Oct 2019 #7
Lol. If I thought you believed this, I'd think you proved your point, Hortensis Oct 2019 #43
I was picturing him as a deer in the headlights of a vehicle that can't stop in time. milestogo Oct 2019 #9
