How so? Honest question
Oh gosh, I just started typing out a response. The. Started sourcing and realized this would take me a ton of time. There are a lot of people way more educated on this, especially the actual potential legal outcomes if this is tried.
I am going to wait to see if someone more knowledgeable chimes in before going through the effort of making a well sourced and researched response.
Sharing links works, too, if typing the response is too much work
Well I apparently wasn’t paying attention and the case that most were sweating about was settled in the Supreme Court earlier this year. Gonzalez V. Google.
But there are a number of worrying bills introduced to Congress recently like the CASE-IT ACT the See Something, Say Something Online Act of 2023 and a handful of others, with more being actively discussed.
There is also this case that seems destined to go to the Supreme Court. I think some worry that eventually if congress doesn’t rewrite the laws the SC will feel the need to. Laws have finesse, SC decisions generelly have larger impact as they unravel a bunch or interconnected laws until new legislation is passed. A court decision could overnight mean everyone who hosts content is then liable, I don’t think I have to explain to see how that will go sideways for any smaller players on the web.
