thats also good. online services need to be held responsible for what they host. no where else do they get magic exceptions to well established law.

>no where else do they get magic exceptions to well established law.

Except for all kinds of established laws broken by the state itself (e.g. extrajudicial deportations), or "fast and loose" startups like Uber and AirBnB, or any big enough company really.

And when they can't fit through exceptions to the law, they magically pay politicians and buy their own laws.

But god forbid people can talk freely about it. What if they don't have the right ideas about things?
