@corytheboyd This is literally what section 230 is about. did everyone suddenly forget that drama? social media platform hosts are not legally liable for user-posted content, provided they follow takedown requests of illegal content when it's brought to their attention.
@Otome-chan@kbin.social Guess I did? Never been a moderator, etc. before and this seemed like a safe enough place to ask a potentially dumb question
@corytheboyd Yup there was a lot of drama about it I think related to twitter. because Trump wanted to remove section 230 or something and people were emphasizing how crucial it was to protect social media server hosts from legal liability of the users' content.
Oh goodness, yeah that kinda rings a bell now. I honestly wasn't really paying a whole lot of attention to the world back then 🙈
