On: Judges rule Big Tech's free ride on Section 230 is...

Does TikTok have to know that “as a category blackout videos are bad” or that “this specific video is bad”.

Does TikTok have preempt this category of videos in the future or simply respond promptly when notified such a video is posted to their system?

Are you asking about the law, or are you asking our opinion?

Do you think its reasonable for social media to send videos to people without considering how harmful they are?

Do you even think its reasonable for search engine to respond to a specific request for this information?

Personally, I wouldn't want search engines censoring results for things explicitly searched for, but I'd still expect that social media should be responsible for harmful content they push onto users who never asked for it in the first place. Push vs Pull is an important distinction that should be considered.

That IS the distinction at play here.

Did some hands come out of the screen, pull a rope out then choke someone? Platforms shouldn’t be held responsible when 1 out of a million users wins a Darwin award.

I think it's a very different conversation when you're talking about social media sites pushing content they know is harmful onto people who they know are literal children.
