In article <CAP-guGXi6wrRpCMu9CBC-GN+qB9GvRG9pvbNp+e7DTvo66KMzA at mail.gmail.com> you write:
>With private organizations it gets much more complicated. No
>organization is compelled to publish anything. But then section 230 of
>the DMCA comes in and says: if you exercise editorial control over
>what's published then you are liable for any unlawful material which
>is published. ...

Sigh. This is false. 100% false. It is the exact opposite of what 47
USC 230 really says. Also, it's the CDA, not the DMCA.

Please see the message I sent earlier today about section 230 and the
links in it to material by actual lawyers explaining what the law does
and does not say and do.
