    What stops them from using this to destroy the fediverse? Every instance will be liable for every single thing that gets hosted on the server. All they need to do is have a patsy post some illegal content and now the instance can be taken to court.

      Yes that’s why repealing is the wrong thing to do.
      As I said amend it.

      The Fediverse doesn’t have any black box algorithms that recommend content. With the flat repeal of 230 it would be in danger. With my amendment it wouldn’t.

        You literally didn’t say it was wrong.

        And they aren’t amending it. They’re repealing it. The internet is going to be destroyed, and you’re wishcasting about something irrelevant that isn’t on the table. I think we should probably focus on how absolutely fucking horrible a repeal would be.

          That’s true, I didn’t use the word wrong, I only implied it.
          Sorry for the confusion.
