Liability needs to established, preferably in legislation rather than protracted court battles.
CDA Section 230, I would argue, is not there to protect business whose revenue depends on harvesting and promoting user generated material for advertising revenue.
In the physical publishing world, if an AP article slanders me and the Toronto Star publishes it, I can go after the Toronto Star. If someone tapes a slanderous page on a lamppost, I canât go after the city, but the city will take it down eventually. If the material in question is criminal, then the game goes up a level.
If Facebook recommends, promotes or advertises beside material that hurts kids, they should be as liable as if they stood inside the kidsâ bedrooms and plastered it in person to the walls.

Meta says risk of account theft after phone number recycling isnât its problem to solve
Meta has acknowledged that phone number reuse that allows takeovers of its accounts âis a concern,â but the ad biz insists the issue doesnât qualify for its bug bounty program and is a matter for telecom companies to sort out.
The core problem is that telecom companies recycle phone numbers that have been abandoned after a brief waiting period â at least 45 days in the US. That can become a problem because many online services require a phone number to identify users and/or send one-time passwords for two-factor authentication. Users who abandon a number, and forget to update their new number, are therefore at risk of malicious account reset attempts by whoever gets access to their old numbers. Account takeovers are a common consequence.
