> But I don't feel the same way about instagram, or even the AOLs and compuserves that existed when this law passed. Rewrite this so that it protects ISPs but not social platforms. 'Without this exemption, FB has to charge its users so they can afford moderation' is a fine compromise for me.
You want some faceless moderator at Facebook/Google to read all your private messages and look at all your stuff? I don't think you've thought this through.
This isn't about DMs. CDA / 230 doesn't apply to DMs. It's about the hypothetically COPPA-violating public account created by an under-13 minor. The original photo in the sting wasn't a DM, I assume it was posted publicly.
