> It is up to the website owner to remove offending content, not the ISP to block access to it. This makes practical sense. We wanted ISPs to stay in businesss. Yeah, it's interesting. That's how everyone thought about it back in the day. Section 230 was about ISPs, not phpBBs. I remember actually worrying about this when setting up my own forums. Even talked to a lawyer and included CYA language in the EULA. I would also use this as a justification for bans ("I'm possibly on the hook for his bullshit, which might be called harassment by some local pd, because the law is new and who the hell knows what will happen"). Thanks for the reminder. That's really interesting, and it's also really interesting that I didn't even remember this. |
