Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Once again, several Senators appear poised to gut one of the most important laws protecting internet users - Section 230 (47 U.S.C. § 230). </p><p>Don’t be fooled - many of Section 230’s detractors claim that this critical law only protects big tech. The reality is that Section 230 provides limited protection for all platforms, though the biggest beneficiaries are small platforms and users. Why else would some of the biggest platforms be willing to endorse a bill that guts the law? In fact, repealing Section 230 would only cement the status of Big Tech monopolies.</p><p>As EFF has said for years, Section 230 is essential to protecting individuals’ ability to speak, organize, and create online. </p><p>Congress knew exactly what Section 230 would do – that it would lay the groundwork for speech of all kinds across the internet, on websites both small and large. And that’s exactly what has happened. </p><p>Section 230 isn’t in conflict with American values. It upholds them in the digital world. People are able to find and create their own communities, and moderate them as they see fit. People and companies are responsible for their own speech, but (with narrow exceptions) not the speech of others."</p><p><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/230-protects-users-not-big-tech" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/230-</span><span class="invisible">protects-users-not-big-tech</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Section230" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Section230</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CommunicationsDecencyAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommunicationsDecencyAct</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ContentModeration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ContentModeration</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a></p>

Ramin HonaryLooks like Mastodon is going to need better moderator tools <p>Underprivileged people are apparently especially easy to target on <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/activitypub" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActivityPub</a> , or so I have been told, and I believe it. They have been complaining about it to the Mastodon developers over the years, but the Mastodon developers at best don’t give a shit, at worst are hostile to the idea, and have been mostly ignoring these criticisms. Well, now we have “Nicole,” the infamous “Fediverse Chick”, a spambot that seems to be registering hundreds of accounts across several <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> instances, and then once registered, sends everyone a direct message introducing itself.</p><p><strong>You can’t block it by domain or by name</strong> since the name keeps changing and spans multiple instances. It is the responsibility of each domain to prevent registrations of bots like this.</p><p>But what happens when the bot designer ups the ante? What happens when they try this approach but with a different name each time? Who is to say that isn’t already happening and we don’t notice it? This seems to be an attempt to show everyone a huge weakness in the content moderation toolkit, and we are way overdue to address these weaknesses.</p><p><a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/contentmoderation" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ContentModeration</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/fediversechick" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FediverseChick</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/spam" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Spam</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/spambot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SpamBot</a></p>
