New York City sues social media companies for allegedly addicting children

"The city joined other governments, school districts and individuals pursuing approximately 2,050 similar lawsuits, in nationwide litigation in the Oakland, California, federal court."

"The city also blamed social media for an increase in "subway surfing," or riding atop or off the sides of moving trains. At least 16 subway surfers have died since 2023, including two girls aged 12 and 13 this month, police data show."

"Google spokesperson Jose Castaneda said allegations concerning YouTube are "simply not true," in part because it is a streaming service and not a social network where people catch up with friends."

It's wild how since the early 90's it has become possible to claim that a website is a "streaming service" and to disclaim any responsibility for letting other people publish on it

Section 230 has allowed websites to grow to _millions_ of pages. Impossible for any website owner to moderate

> Section 230 has allowed websites to grow to _millions_ of pages. Impossible for any website owner to moderate

It’s valid to ask to what effect.

1vuio0pswjnm7•4mo ago
Better: "Section 230 has allowed websites to grow to sizes that make it impossible for any website owner to moderate."

Because of the inflated size, and because these sites hand out pages to anyone instead of producing their own content, the website can operate as a middleman, performing surveillance, data collection and selling "ad services"

Because they sell ad services, there is an incentive not to moderate anything that draws an audience
