What HN said
- pchristensenNov 2019For anyone interested in this, I recommend following the Center for Humane Technology. Their podcast (https://humanetech.com/podcast/) talks about many aspects of this in a very intelligent and technical manner.
I particularly recommend Episode 3 with Yael Eisenstat - https://your-undivided-attention.simplecast.com/episodes/wit... - w/transcript - http://humanetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/CHT-Undivid...
Short version - the algorithmic feeds that drive engagement should not be protected by CDA230 - storing and retrieving user data should be protected, but platforms should be liable for the content that they amplify and promote.
