Your ISP is also a private service. And you also need to subscribe to that service. The ISP can cancel your service at any time for pretty much any reason.

And yes, Facebook does deliver my packets to anyone subscribed to my content. At least they would be forced to do so if Section 230 was repealed. They would no longer be able to censor content.

"Big deal. That's about the average lifespan of a car battery too."

Oh my God, what are you doing to those batteries? My car was bought in 2011. I replaced the battery once. Only other time I've had to replace the battery is on a 20+ year old used vehicle.

Do some car manufacturers just use shitty batteries?

Section 230 was created specifically to allow companies to censor their users. Without 230, those companies would be seen as exercising editorial control over their users' content, and this open themselves up to liability for what they publish.

No 230 means no censorship, no censorship means no ads, no ads means no algorithmic feeds. Objectively a better Internet.

"a telecommunications company that holds itself out to the public for hire to provide communications transmission services"

Yup. This applies

Nope. Not how that works. They're common carriers.

No that's not how that works. It never was. They are common carriers and protected.

No. Common carrier protections apply as long you don't censor. No censorship means no ads. Voila! Better Internet.

Who says that would be bad for the Internet?

The Internet was objectively better before social media. Rolling us back to pre-Facebook era Internet would go a long way to restoring the old magic of the Internet.

Non competes were already banned in California, where OpenAI is headquartered. The federal rule from the FTC would have zero impact on this guy's decisions.

But Google is already providing this service without any generative AI. It's baked into GMail.

You mean they didn't setup camping in Nadella's office in protest? How do they expect to foment change without tents?

And which immediately redrew it's borders, yes.

Q.v. Israel to see how important the view of the UN is.

Credit has little to do with it beyond those people who have run out. The important signal that SHOULD get people to stop spending money is seeing costs go up. If you don't stop buying shit, you're feeding inflation.

Restaurants should have all gone out of business in the last year or so, for example. Door Dash should no longer be a thing. Smart consumers should have driven them out of business.

Because he knows the American people well enough to know they won't stop spending until they have to. It's not his fault. He looks at inflation and unemployment. If inflation went down, he'd cut rates. If unemployment goes up, he'd cut rates.

His job (aside from setting rates) is to prognosticate for the rest of us whats going to happen. And he's done a damned good job of it. You can't force morons (on Wall Street and Main) to listen.
