It's fucking crazy. I can't believe they figured out a way to make encryption illegal or coerce you into not having it, into not using it.

Well that's what it seems like to me.

Where it's like, well yeah, just through fear basically right so CDA

230 protects all sites from the any litigation over their moderation.

So as long as you're a publisher,

so you can go and say,

delete comments, Google could delete whomever they want,

yelp can delete whatever they want,

and a business can't say like,

I'm fucking suing you for deleting me.

Alex Jones can get deleted off Twitter

and he can't say, oh, I'm 100% suing you for violation of first amendment like that's a you've

created a situation where I rely on you for my income and now you've destroyed

it like you should be able to sue for that. Yeah, CDA 230 says you can't.

And he wrote it a long, long time ago.

Okay.

Uh, I think YouTube, I think some big companies scared or lobbied the government into creating it before the internet was anything

because YouTube was made themselves profitable by posting pirated content like when they

bought when Google bought YouTube they set out

billion they set out a billion dollars just for lawsuits. Is that right? Yeah just

this is the gosh fun for lawsuits. The guys who created YouTube were open

with each other like laughing about it.
