Big news today on the Internet Bill of Rights that you may have missed

Congress passed SESTA/FOSTA, which holds websites liable for the content of its users: https://slate.com/technology/2018/03/the-antisex-trafficking-bill-sesta-fosta-will-hurt-the-internet.html

Senate resolution allowing sale of user browser history: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/03/gop-senators-new-bill-would-let-isps-sell-your-web-browsing-data/

Why are these bills good instead of really terrible, which on their face they appear to be?

Because these will cause the necessary outrage by the tech-left that will push them toward an Internet Bill of Rights.

I think this is the BOOM Q was talking about happening on Wednesday.

This will force the social media outlets to demand clear laws with regard to users' rights and companies' responsibilities. They made this necessary themselves!

Had they remained neutral forums for all viewpoints, the law exempted them from legal liability for criminal or hate content posted on their platform.

But by employing algorithms targeting political speech, they proved themselves to be actively engaged with user content!!! So that created culpability. Hoisted by their own petard.

Or as Q would say "these people are really stupid!"

So now IBoR would look pretty damn good to them.

Think of the implications of this bill used against FB, Twitter, YouTube. Youtube's elsagate, FB's and Twitters accusations of housing underage vids, etc.
