<!--//-->// ><!-- <pre><code>var theSeed, secondSeed = 0, hasMiddle; var bingoFields = new Array(&quot;Most Internet&lt;br&gt;platforms/intermediaries&lt;br&gt;are nothing like&lt;br&gt;Facebook or YouTube,&lt;br&gt;and can't hire&lt;br&gt;armies of moderators&lt;br&gt;or build filters&quot; , &quot;The rules intended&lt;br&gt;to curb big platforms&lt;br&gt;like Facebook and&lt;br&gt;Google actually&lt;br&gt;entrench them&lt;br&gt; and hurt &lt;br&gt;competitors&quot; , &quot;Regulators know&lt;br&gt;these laws will&lt;br&gt; hurt competition,&lt;br&gt; but they like that&lt;br&gt; because if the&lt;br&gt; Internet is just&lt;br&gt; Google and Facebook,&lt;br&gt; then it’s regulable&quot; , &quot;These companies&lt;br&gt;make money from&lt;br&gt;ads&quot; , &quot;The real issue&lt;br&gt;is amplification&lt;br&gt;and algorithms&quot; , &quot;We should focus&lt;br&gt;on fair removals&lt;br&gt;process, platforms&lt;br&gt;need to provide&lt;br&gt;clear rules, appeals,&lt;br&gt;and transparency.&quot; , &quot;Big platforms are&lt;br&gt;so powerful, they&lt;br&gt;are like states,&lt;br&gt;so they need&lt;br&gt;ambassadors and a&lt;br&gt;foreign policy.&quot; , &quot;Big platforms are&lt;br&gt;so powerful, they&lt;br&gt;are like states,&lt;br&gt;so they should&lt;br&gt;have state-like&lt;br&gt;human rights obligations.&quot; , &quot;Think about how&lt;br&gt;these platform content&lt;br&gt;regulation issues&lt;br&gt;play out on&lt;br&gt;a semi-private&lt;br&gt;encrypted channel&lt;br&gt;like WhatsApp.&quot; , &quot;We must distinguish&lt;br&gt;removals based on law&lt;br&gt;from removals based&lt;br&gt;on Terms of Service.&quot; , &quot;The elephant in&lt;br&gt;the room is China,&lt;br&gt;we need to talk&lt;br&gt;about it.&quot; , &quot;We spend too much&lt;br&gt;time on China, when&lt;br&gt;some of the most&lt;br&gt;important questions are&lt;br&gt;coming from Brazil/Turkey/&lt;br&gt;India/Hungary/etc.&quot; , &quot;Platforms already&lt;br&gt;enforce the US DMCA&lt;br&gt;globally, so Americans&lt;br&gt;shouldn’t complain&lt;br&gt;when other&lt;br&gt;countries want&lt;br&gt;their laws&lt;br&gt;enforced that way.&quot; , &quot;Think of the&lt;br&gt;unintended consequences.&quot; , &quot;Think of the&lt;Br&gt;children.&quot; , &quot;Think of the&lt;br&gt;effect on startups.&quot; , &quot;The real issue&lt;br&gt;is the business model.&quot; , &quot;Platforms need to&lt;br&gt;start by actually&lt;br&gt;enforcing their terms&lt;br&gt;of service.&quot; , &quot;If you're not paying&lt;br&gt;for the product,&lt;br&gt;you're the product!&quot; , &quot;We need way more data&lt;br&gt;and transparency&lt;br&gt;from platforms.&quot; , &quot;Don’t forget that&lt;br&gt;plenty of disinformation&lt;br&gt;comes from legacy media&lt;br&gt;companies like FOX.&quot; , &quot;Platforms must uphold&lt;br&gt;human rights because of&lt;br&gt;the Ruggie Principles/&lt;br&gt;horizontal effect/states’&lt;br&gt;positive obligations.&quot; , &quot;These laws are outdated,&lt;br&gt;the Internet was very&lt;br&gt;different when they were&lt;br&gt;passed.&quot; , &quot;If platforms want&lt;br&gt;immunity, they&lt;br&gt;should have to&lt;br&gt;retain users’&lt;br&gt;real names so&lt;br&gt;they can be held&lt;br&gt;responsible.&quot; , &quot;Something something&lt;br&gt;blockchain.&quot; , &quot;Yes, but does it scale?&quot; , &quot;We need to think&lt;br&gt;about moderators as&lt;br&gt;a workforce, and&lt;br&gt;protect them.&quot; , &quot;Deepfakes will&lt;br&gt;change everything.&quot; , &quot;Deepfakes are not&lt;br&gt;really a new issue.&quot; , &quot;Facebook took down&lt;br&gt;the &amp;quot;Terror of&lt;br&gt;War&amp;quot; Vietnam&lt;br&gt;photo, and that&lt;br&gt;shows they are a&lt;br&gt;threat to free&lt;br&gt;expression.&quot; , &quot;We only hear about Facebook&lt;br&gt;taking down the &amp;quot;Terror of War&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;Vietnam photo because&lt;br&gt;it affected people&lt;br&gt;with the power to&lt;br&gt;call attention to it.&quot; , &quot;Amending CDA 230 will&lt;br&gt;break the Internet.&quot; , &quot;Big social media&lt;br&gt;companies are the new&lt;br&gt;public square.&quot; , &quot;An example of how&lt;br&gt;platforms use AI is&lt;br&gt;&amp;#91;something that isn’t AI at all&amp;#93;.&quot; , &quot;Platforms need to&lt;br&gt;choose: are they&lt;br&gt;neutral platforms,or editors?&quot; , &quot;NetzDG puts platforms&lt;br&gt;in the role of courts,&lt;br&gt;that’s a huge change!&quot;); hasMiddle = true;

SOMETHING SOMETHING
BLOCKCHAIN.
THINK OF THE
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.
THESE LAWS ARE OUTDATED,
THE INTERNET WAS VERY
DIFFERENT WHEN THEY WERE
PASSED.
AMENDING CDA 230 WILL
BREAK THE INTERNET.
THE ELEPHANT IN
THE ROOM IS CHINA,
WE NEED TO TALK
ABOUT IT.
IF PLATFORMS WANT
IMMUNITY, THEY
SHOULD HAVE TO
RETAIN USERS’
REAL NAMES SO
THEY CAN BE HELD
RESPONSIBLE.
NETZDG PUTS PLATFORMS
IN THE ROLE OF COURTS,
THAT’S A HUGE CHANGE!
DEEPFAKES ARE NOT
REALLY A NEW ISSUE.
THE REAL ISSUE
IS AMPLIFICATION
AND ALGORITHMS
THINK OF THE
CHILDREN.
WE SHOULD FOCUS
ON FAIR REMOVALS
PROCESS, PLATFORMS
NEED TO PROVIDE
CLEAR RULES, APPEALS,
AND TRANSPARENCY.
AN EXAMPLE OF HOW
PLATFORMS USE AI IS
[SOMETHING THAT ISN’T AI AT ALL].
security
problem
excuse
BINGO
DON’T FORGET THAT
PLENTY OF DISINFORMATION
COMES FROM LEGACY MEDIA
COMPANIES LIKE FOX.
BIG PLATFORMS ARE
SO POWERFUL, THEY
ARE LIKE STATES,
SO THEY SHOULD
HAVE STATE-LIKE
HUMAN RIGHTS OBLIGATIONS.
BIG SOCIAL MEDIA
COMPANIES ARE THE NEW
PUBLIC SQUARE.
WE NEED TO THINK
ABOUT MODERATORS AS
A WORKFORCE, AND
PROTECT THEM.
WE ONLY HEAR ABOUT FACEBOOK
TAKING DOWN THE "TERROR OF WAR"
VIETNAM PHOTO BECAUSE
IT AFFECTED PEOPLE
WITH THE POWER TO
CALL ATTENTION TO IT.
WE NEED WAY MORE DATA
AND TRANSPARENCY
FROM PLATFORMS.
THINK ABOUT HOW
THESE PLATFORM CONTENT
REGULATION ISSUES
PLAY OUT ON
A SEMI-PRIVATE
ENCRYPTED CHANNEL
LIKE WHATSAPP.
BIG PLATFORMS ARE
SO POWERFUL, THEY
ARE LIKE STATES,
SO THEY NEED
AMBASSADORS AND A
FOREIGN POLICY.
MOST INTERNET
PLATFORMS/INTERMEDIARIES
ARE NOTHING LIKE
FACEBOOK OR YOUTUBE,
AND CAN'T HIRE
ARMIES OF MODERATORS
OR BUILD FILTERS
PLATFORMS ALREADY
ENFORCE THE US DMCA
GLOBALLY, SO AMERICANS
SHOULDN’T COMPLAIN
WHEN OTHER
COUNTRIES WANT
THEIR LAWS
ENFORCED THAT WAY.
THINK OF THE
EFFECT ON STARTUPS.
PLATFORMS MUST UPHOLD
HUMAN RIGHTS BECAUSE OF
THE RUGGIE PRINCIPLES/
HORIZONTAL EFFECT/STATES’
POSITIVE OBLIGATIONS.
