Potential modifications to section 230 can’t be characterized as innocuous when it could mean Facebook would be liable for what people post. Regardless, though, they are reaching far beyond 230, according to the data thief:
“Facebook wants to trick you into thinking that privacy protections or changes to Section 230 alone will be sufficient. While important, they will not get to the core of the issue, which is that no one truly understands the destructive traits of Facebook except for Facebook. We can afford nothing less than full transparency.”
And Facebook is different than other big tech in that it is deeply personal for the senators:
“Mark Zuckerberg may be one of the richest people in the history of the world,” Mr. Blumenthal said. “But today Frances Haugen showed that one person can stand up to that kind of power and make a difference.”
Zuckerberg could barely contain his contempt for this woman and the nonsense she spewed. NPR even seemed to join his side:
“…hundreds of studies published over decades on children and adolescents’ media use and well-being…have found few correlations. “It’s mostly null,” Odgers says.”
“The Facebook research was not peer-reviewed or designed to be nationally representative…So the finding does not describe a random sampling of teenage girls, or even all the girls in the survey. It’s a subset of a subset of a subset.”
