When I actively hosted USENET servers, I was repeatedly warned by in-house and external counsel, not to moderate which groups I hosted based on content, less I become responsible for moderating all groups, shouldn’t that same principal apply to platforms like AWS and Twitter?
Yes, it would. This was an astonnishingly stupid move on AWS's part; I'm prett sure their counsel was not conmsulted.
Well, this oughtta be fun. ESR is on the "yes, that is what 230 says" side, and John Levine -- with what looked to me like good arguments and references -- is on the "no, that's entirely not what 230 says side. Gentlemen: go to your corners and come out fighting! Well, ok, disagreeing politely. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
