  • Justice Department unveils legislation to alter Section 230 protections

    Now that I've read more from the DOJ, I don't think it intended to do what I previously thought it intended to do - i.e., remove the immunity which providers have for content they allow if they choose to censor some material in objectionable ways.

    The wording of the proposed changes wouldn't have that effect and it seems that wasn't the intended effect. These changes aren't as substantial - or as bad - as I had originally thought. Even if this proposal was enacted, providers (and users, for that matter) would still enjoy unconditioned immunity for (i.e. not be treated as publishers of) the speech of others which they left up.


    EDIT: I should be clear, the immunity provided by Section 230(c)(1) wouldn't be unconditional. But it wouldn't be conditioned on the provider not censoring certain material. The proposed changes actually place some meaningful conditions on Section 230(c)(1) immunity.
    They take a little right to free speech away at a time until your arrested for thinking.

    Zuckerberg is bad mouthing Apple glass to make loyal Facebook consumers second guess the product when it is released so then buy some Facebook  product instead that tracks them.

  • Apple says Epic Games dispute is a 'marketing campaign' to boost 'Fortnite'

    At first they were booted from Apple, google and Samsung.  But all we are hearing about is Apple vs epic.  What’s the status with the other two app stores?

  • Oracle wins TikTok bid prior to impending U.S ban

    Big mistake Larry. TikTok will wither and die in your hands because you don't have access to the Chinese IP, the 'secret sauce'. For someone who made their money out of a few lines of IBM 360 code (or something like that) you have overseen a company that has become almost as hated as Facebook is in the IT world.
    I guess that the new EULA for TikTok will be 500 pages of 5pt comic sans that includes signing away the rights of your unborn children... /s
    Oracle is the devil in disguse. Deals with the devil as many customers and staff have found out to their cost never end well. It is kinda ironic that Oracle's colours are Red. Perfect for the Devil and the PRC.
    {disclaimer. I was a former Oracle 7.3 DBA. That was before I knew better.}
    Why is everyone second guessing a guy who built a multi billion dollar fortune out of a “couple lines” of code. Clearly this guy sees an opportunity or something that’s valuable.  

    Me personally, I see a headache in the making.  Not to say that there isn’t something valuable burying in this Tiktok sh*t storm. With trump “forcing” the sale and wanting a cut of the sale... also, If anyone looked further, I’d say oracle and Facebook are connected somewhere in the background.  Becuase, I see Tik tok withering swag and dying under oracle seeing as oracle doesn’t appear to have any experience in this market.   

    The real question is, what patents possibly come with this sale.  That’s the real reason business make deals like this.  What IP did or does musical.ly/tik tok hold
