Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

All it takes is one frivolous legal threat to shut down a small website by putting them on the hook for legal costs they can't afford. Facebook gets away with awful shit not because of the law, but because they are stupidly rich. Change the law, and they will still be stupidly rich. Indeed, the "sunset Section 230" path will make it open season for Facebook's lobbyists to pay for the replacement law that they want. I do not see that leading anywhere good.
