@Flux @jcriecke very few other jurisdictions offer a liability shield with anywhere near the breadth of US CDA Section 230, yet Mastodon thrives. it will continue to thrive in the US as well, if, for example the US were to replace Section 230 with, say, rules that attach liability upon notice, after a grace period, as in the UK. repealing or reforming the US’ extraordinarily broad shield does not imply imposition of some kind of hair-trigger strict liability.
