Interesting, product liability suits will cause app operators to actually respond differently, instead of ignoring the suit hoping it goes away under section 230.

I think this more likely gets Congress to expand section 230 to improve the shield, before working on the exceptions again

What a terrible person. Feels good about destroying something because she is a poor parent. This is the slow death of the open internet, manifest.

She was not a parent - she was a child victim of the site since she was 11 years old. Thats an important distinction to overlook in the rush to judgement.
