“Several Supreme Court justices said Tuesday they were wary of allowing lawsuits against YouTube and other social media firms over algorithms they use to direct users to related content — even if that encourages terrorists or promotes illegal conduct.
The justices had agreed for the first time to hear a challenge to Section 230, the federal law that shields websites from being sued over content posted by others. That set off alarms at Big Tech firms.
But during Tuesday's arguments, Justices Elena Kagan and Brett M. Kavanaugh said Congress, not the court, should decide whether to change the law.
'You know these are not, like, the nine greatest experts on the internet,' Kagan said to laughter, referring to the nine justices.
She said it was very difficult to draw a line between ordinary algorithms that tell users they may be interested in similar videos and those that encourage certain individuals to look at suspect or harmful content.
'Isn't drawing that line 'something for Congress, not the court?' she asked.
Kavanaugh said he too thought this might be a time for judicial restraint. He said dozens of tech firms and business groups had warned that changing Section 230 'would crash the digital economy, with all sorts of effects on workers and consumers, retirement plans and what have you, and those are serious concerns.'
He said Congress was in a better position to revise its own law if needed, particularly when courts have upheld Section 230 as a broad legal shield since 1996.”
"In late January, Alan Shaw, the chief executive of Norfolk Southern Corp., touted the railroad’s financial performance and rising cargo volumes. 'Service is at the best it’s been in more than two years, and customers are noticing,' he told investors.
The following week, Mr. Shaw was getting alerts that a Norfolk Southern freight train carrying hazardous chemicals had derailed near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border, setting off a crisis that has put intense scrutiny on the railroad’s operations and its leader.
The National Transportation Safety Board, or NTSB, is due to issue its preliminary results on what caused the derailment on Thursday.
'It is clear that our safety culture and our investments in safety didn’t prevent this accident. We’re going to see how we could have prevented it when we get the NTSB results,' Mr. Shaw said in an interview Wednesday. 'We’re going to look for other opportunities as well, beyond what is in the NTSB results.'
'My job is to push out the noise and focus on the citizens of East Palestine, focus on the environmental remediation, focus on investing in this community.'
Mr. Shaw said that he would bring his own family, including his children, to East Palestine. 'There’s so much misinformation out there that is hurting the folks of East Palestine,' he said, pointing to inaccuracies on social media that are creating a stigma.
'They don’t like that people are calling it American Chernobyl when all the tests show that it is safe and that it is clean,' said Mr. Shaw."
"The argument that crypto is an alternative to fiat currency has been settled following last year’s turmoil in the digital-asset sector, according to Agustin Carstens, the head of the Bank for International Settlements.
'That battle has been won,' Carstens said in a Bloomberg TV interview on Wednesday. 'A technology doesn’t make for trusted money.'
The digital-asset sector is still licking the wounds of a $2 trillion rout and the November collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX exchange, which has morphed into one of the highest-profile corporate crime cases in US history.
'Only the legal, historical infrastructure behind central banks can give great credibility' to money, Carstens said, adding he anticipates a 'strong statement' from the Group of 20 for strengthened regulation of the digital-asset sector.
Crypto is a financial activity that can really only exist 'under certain conditions,' he said.
Whacked Out Wednesday, Ripped From The Headlines. Things To Ponder:
“We’re Just Gonna Sit That Opinion Right Over Here…”
Interesting to see the Supreme Court discuss its thoughts on Section 230, isn’t it?
For reference, here’s what we shared in the February 16, 2023 edition of Ripped From The Headlines:
“Next week, Section 230 of the UNITED STATES code will be put to the test. In short, Section 230 provides ‘…provides immunity for website platforms with respect to third-party content. At its core, Section 230(c)(1) provides immunity from liability for providers and users of an ‘interactive computer service’ who publish information provided by third-party users.’
That third-party part is really important…
The challenge for Google, and others in big tech, is that they have technically become publishers - because they edit or augment content… Which means they would not be protected by Section 230.”
So… the court is now taking an interesting position:
It’s not really their job to step in on something Congress passed as a law…
Congress needs to change it.
That’s correct.
But then, there’s the commentary:
Justice Kagan says: “…it was very difficult to draw a line between ordinary algorithms that tell users they may be interested in similar videos and those that encourage certain individuals to look at suspect or harmful content.”
That’s not true. Actually, the people who program those algorithms know exactly what they’re doing, Justice Kagan. Ask Mark Zuckerberg next time he’s in DC “testifying:”
Here’s the good news: It looks like Congress is going to get pressure to make changes to Section 230.
Here’s the bad news: You’re going to have to work to make that happen.
It’s also worth watching this movie, The Creepy Line, so you understand just how deep this rabbit hole goes:
Know. Your. Foe.
“It’s SO Safe, I’ll Bring My Family In!”
That’s what Alan Shaw, the CEO of Norfolk Southern is saying… and, that there’s too much “misinformation…”
Do you mean like the lawyers showing up in town trying to get residents to sign waivers and take $1000 settlements so that they can’t sue you, Mr. Shaw?
It’s interesting that the NTSB hasn’t provided their report yet, the EPA is still trying to take over the operation, and trained specialists say things are very dangerous, but “…they don’t like that people are calling it American Chernobyl when all the tests show that it is safe and that it is clean.”
That’s not what these folks WHO LIVE THERE AND ARE SUFFERING SAY, Mr. Shaw:
The video is also linked here.
I don’t know that you’ll actually see Mr. Shaw’s family anywhere near where the pain is… they will probably be outside of the danger zone for photo ops.
Pray for our friends in Ohio.
“Crypto Is Dead! Long Live Crypto!”
We’ll be as clear as we possibly can:
Agustin Carstens, the head of the Bank for International Settlements, IS YOUR ENEMY.
Need proof? Here you go, in just 30 seconds:
He doesn’t really want crypto dead…
He wants to control it and use it as another avenue for grift, while he forces you to use a Central Bank Digital Currency (#CBDC).
Here’s the definition of grift:
Grift - noun
(sometimes used with a plural verb) a group of methods for obtaining money falsely through the use of swindles, frauds, dishonest gambling, etc.
money obtained from such practices.
You remember what that means, right?
Here’s the kicker…
The BIS released a study in November, that said $80 TRILLION WAS MISSING OFF OF BALANCE SHEETS AROUND THE WORLD, AND THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM IS WITH A CBDC.
You can see our coverage of that if you Click Here.
And this guy…
Who runs the central bank of central banks…
And can’t find $80 trillion…
Wants you to trust him.
That’s a HARD NO from us. Know. Your. Foe.
What does this mean?
The “Fail Train” just keeps on rolling…
This is the big reason we chose to do Ripped From The Headlines… so you can be out in front of what’s coming.
Take note of what’s happened as we’ve looked at the inflation numbers fiasco and the power-play for Cryptocurrency…
If they can scare you enough…
With a situation they created…
They can pay off the people that need to be paid, and make it look like a mistake…
They can also provide you with a solution you’ll take… like the Central Bank Digital Currency (“CBDC”).
Hegelian Dialectic (Problem - Reaction - Solution) is hard at work.
That ain’t good.
