Florida Gov. DeSantis Has Just Signed A Bill Into Law That Would Allow Everyday Floridians To Sue Big Tech Platforms For Monetary Damages

So you're saying that Facebook is not a common carrier?

Federal law is saying facebook is not a common carrier under Sec 200

It's not me that's dense, idiot.

You seem ignorant of the fact that we’ve been saying OVER AND OVER that Facebook isn’t a common carrier.

Then it can be sued, moron

And phone companies don't broadcast your phone calls.

Dumbass.

You're the dumbass. When phone companies went from landlines to cellsites, they started "broadcasting" phone calls, and they needed an FCC license to do so.

Irrelevant. I have a wireless modem the broadcasts the internet.

You just keep digging yourself in deeper and deeper. I can also get internet on my phone via wireless.

And somebody driving past your house can receive that broadcast.

You're broadcasting just like the phone company.

Nope. Never said that. You have though. Repeatedly. Repeatedly stupid and wrong. How do you do it? It's impressive.

In the US, anybody can sue anybody for anything.

 

[Faun]

I think they should be labeled and regulated as such...I am not sure why the argument is so mind boggling

It’s incredibly mind boggling.

A common carrier moves items or information from one person to another for a fee.

A phone service is a common carrier. Moves phone calls from one person to another. An electric company is a common carrier. Moves electricity from the producer to the user.

Social media is nothing of the sort. It accepts information, formats it, stores it, publishes it, and then broadcasts it over the internet to anyone that accesses it.

They’re not passive. They’re not just “carrying” information. They’re storing and publishing it for the public. There is no way one could view them as a common carrier by the definition of the word.

You just described a common carrier, moron. Phone companies do all the things you listed.

That's because phone companies are common carriers.

So you're saying that Facebook is not a common carrier?

It took you this long to figure out?

 

[meaner gene]

So what's you point, moron?

You said the phone company doesn't broadcast.

That was DUMB .

Exactly. And the FL handjob law doesn't change that.

And so will the requirements to keep politicians and news organizations online.

And that’ll basically hollow out the law to the point of uselessness.

I can't see that surviving, because it doesn't have an exception for illegal content. A politician could post anything from dangerous medical advice to child pornography, and the carrier couldn't stop it for 30 days.

Holy crap, you’re right. Zero exceptions for a politician posting anything.

 

[Faun]

Great, quote the common carrier law stating that...

I think this answers that.

Spare me. I'm done with this idiocy.

He was done when he posted a link to an article that didn't show Facebook claimed they are a common carrier. Everything since then was just laughing at his idiocy.

​

The court, however, decided that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act grants Facebook immunity from lawsuits like this. That section states that services like Facebook can't be held responsible for their users' actions. The decision reads:​

LOL

The fucking moron posts his second link which says nothing about "common carriers."

Section 230 applies specifically to common carriers, and the lawsuit specifically mentioned Section 230.

How fucking brain damaged are you?

Howl as much as you want, the definition of a common carrier still does apply to Facebook.

That's right, which is why it can be sued.

And yet, they can't be, as your own links show.

No, it shows common carriers cannot be sued. Which are you claiming Facebook is, a common carrier of a publisher?

Either way, you and Facebook lose.

LOL

By definition of a common carrier, Facebook is not. So what did we lose?

Then Facebook can be sued, moron.

And yet, they can't be. Don't you ever tire of being wrong?

You can't have it both ways, moron. On the one hand you claim Facebook can be sued. On the other hand, you claime Facebook is a publisher that can edit its content any way it wants to.

Why are you blaming me for your ignorance?

By the definition, Facebook is not a common carrier.

Facebook is protected by rule 230.

2 immutable facts a fucking moron like you struggles to comprehend.

Those two statements contradict each other, moron. Do you believe CNN can't be sued? WAPO?

Except they don't. The definition rules them out of the category of being a common carrier.

And they've prevailed in court under rule 230.

You're wrong with every post you make.

Yes, they do contradict each other. You would know that if you were capable of committing logic.

Now answer this question: Do you believe CNN can't be sued? WAPO?

Of course they can, and have been, sued. What a stupid question.

Then so can Facebook, numskull.

You're a fucking moron for not knowing the difference between CNN and Facebook.

...and fucking moron, you yourself already posted at least two links showing that Facebook could not be sued thanks to Section 230 protections.

 

[meaner gene]

Exactly. And the FL handjob law doesn't change that.

I don't know if its constitutional for a state to grant an automatic monetary harm.

It's like the state saying that any auto accident lawsuit automatically has damages of $50,000.

 

[colfax_m]

It's not me that's dense, idiot.

You seem ignorant of the fact that we’ve been saying OVER AND OVER that Facebook isn’t a common carrier.

Then it can be sued, moron

You’re also ignorant to the fact that common carrier status has nothing to do with section 230.

Holy crap, you’re right. Zero exceptions for a politician posting anything.

Matt Gaetz could post obscene pictures of his ex-girlfriends (including the underage one) and nothing could happen for 30 days. And even then, they could only stop it for 14 days.
