I have a feeling that they're tipping over some invisible line and might actually face some action now. Does anyone else share this sentiment? Why / Why not?
I hope there is some legislation on 230 and/or algorithmic recommendations. An idea I've started to see more is 230 protections apply when you do not recommend and, vice-a-versa, the protections are void when you have algorithms prioritizing content.<p>This should apply to more than FB or social media, but also to news outlets and anyone generally using algos to create feeds which impact human perceptions and decision making.<p>I don't think the government is up to the task for creating an effective regulatory body, or that a govt run regulatory body would be effective. An interesting alternative I came across (more generally) is for the government to authorize private regulators and let them compete for best outcomes. How this avoids the DC funding loop, I'm not sure...
