Historical Documentation Of Key Section 230 Cases
from the nice-to-see dept
We've been talking a lot lately about the fact that people seem incredibly confused (i.e., mostly wrong) about the history, purpose, and even language of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. No matter how many times we try to correct the record, it seems that more people keep getting it wrong. We've talked a few times about Jeff Kosseff's excellent new book called The Twenty-Six Words That Created the Internet, and, as Kosseff explains, part of his reason for putting together that book is that some of the early history around CDA 230 was at risk of disappearing.
And now Kosseff has teamed up with professor Eric Goldman to create an archive of documents related to key Section 230 cases.
Learning about Section 230’s history is more important than ever. That’s one reason why @ericgoldman and I have created an archive of case documents from some of the landmark 230 cases: https://t.co/kP1xcqgBvv
— Jeff Kosseff (@jkosseff) June 11, 2019
As Kosseff notes:
As I noted in the book, many of the filings in the early Section 230 cases (particularly from the pre-PACER days), were particularly hard to track down. In an effort to ensure that these documents are not forever lost, I worked with Professor Eric Goldman of Santa Clara University to create an online archive of many of the filings. Below are some of the key court opinions mentioned in the book, along with some of the important court filings, if available. The files from the earliest cases are largely in paper format. We plan to add these filings once they are scanned; for now, we link to the court opinions.
This is great to see and should prove to be a useful resource, especially about some of the older cases.
Of course, it still won't stop some from misrepresenting the law, but at least having this information available will hopefully lead at least a few more people to understand the actual origins and purpose of the law.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Reason doesn't stop YOU from misrepresenting Law.
First, Masnick's key strategy is trying to merge, meld, and obfuscate "moderation" and "censorship" so as to empower corporations to control ALL speech.
No one is much disputing the "moderation" aspects -- which state common law principles. The crux is the "material is constitutionally protected" provision. I hold that's UN-Constitutional on its face because directly states that supersedes the Constitution.
These two bedrock points are so well-known as need no citation:
1) The Constitution is The Supreme Law of the land.
2) No mere statute can empower any entity to violate Constitutional Rights. -- The attempt to empower corporations to do so is literally fascist.

Re: Reason doesn't stop YOU from misrepresenting Law.
Second, I remind readers that Masnick has himself unequivocally misrepresented the law right here:
https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20190201/00025041506/us-newspapers-now-salivating-over-bring ing-google-snippet-tax-stateside.shtml#c530
He simply DELETED the "in good faith" requirement! -- And then blows it off as not important!
Now, WHERE did Masnick get that exact text other than by himself manually deleting characters? -- Go ahead. Search teh internets with his precious Google to find that exact phrase. I'll wait. ... It appears nowhere else, which means that Masnick deliberately falsified the very law under discussion trying to keep me from pointing out that for Section 230 to be valid defense of hosts, they must act "in good faith" to The Public, NOT as partisans discriminating against those they decide are foes.
Masnick is a partisan for corporations and though talks up 1A "free speech" that's just for cover: in this crucial point for corporate power he's against the clear Constitutional rights of "natural" persons. He's going to slant what writes to play up government-conferred power of corporations to control what YOU write.
Finally, observe that Masnick keeps running Section 230 propaganda -- and casting opponents as enemy. Why? There's no real news. There's no need to so advocate for corporations, they're big enough to take care of themselves. -- And doing so only points up that his views aren't so nailed down as claims.

Re: Reason doesn't stop YOU from misrepresenting Law.

Well, there's a new argument from you. What, pray tell, in Section 230 says that anyone can "violate Constitutional rights." Nothing does. The section you are referring to is saying that internet service providers are allowed to moderate and block content even if that content is constitutionally protected. Nothing in that violates the Constitution, as it does not involve Congress making any law regarding freedom of expression. Unless you truly believe that family friendly sites need to allow cursing and spam (which was the point of that section).

Re: Re: Reason doesn't stop YOU from misrepresenting Law.
You're addressing the real section 230, the one that only says you have to go after the person actually breaking the law rather than the tool they used, and which doesn't shield platforms from any of their own wrongdoing.
He's addressing the one in his head, where platforms are government agents because they're big and any attempt to moderate their own private property is either an infringement of peoples' rights (if they remove speech he likes) or avoiding some form of liability for a crime (if they fail to remove speech he doesn't like).
Easy mistake, I know, but he's predictable once you work out which fiction he's referencing.

Distributory liability -- which every country other than the US has -- applies to the separate harm inflicted by the "tool." If someone posts revenge porn on a woman on some obscure website, that person is inflicting one harm. The search engine which ARCHIVES that website is committing a separate harm, for which they should be liable, just like a newsstand or a bookstore, once they are put on notice of the defamatory conduct.
It's one thing to support Section 230 as it stands, quite another to pretend that search engines aren't inflicting separate harm. Sites like Ripoff Report could not exist without Section 230. If you support 230, you are supporting sites like Ripoff Report.
People can be defamed anonymously (through "burner IP addresses" not linked to them) to where they can't be found or sued, and the search engines continue inflicting harm for which they are immune and the target is defenseless. If you support 230, you are supporting this status quo.
Finally, people who repeat the lies they find on the internet are taking great risks, because they may not realize that the source (usually a search engine) is immune, but they are NOT immune if they use their own words without attribution (which many people omit because they don't want it known they found it on 4Chan, etc.).
If you support 230, at least be honest about what you are supporting.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Reason doesn't stop YOU from misrepresenting Law
You spew this crap a lot, but refuse to offer examples, despite the fact that the actual harm of revoking section 230 would be exponentially more than any supposed harm you have ever proven to exist outside of your own twisted mind.
Why is that?
"burner IP addresses"
You keep using this idiotic term, but refuse to define it? Is it because you're just talking about NAT and DHCP, and the term is meaningless once you apply a real-world definition? Or is it because you're so uneducated as to how the internet works that you think it's like a phone number?
"If you support 230, at least be honest about what you are supporting."
I'm supporting the millions of people and vast amount of education and culture that currently depend on industries that can't be held liable for the actions of other people over whose actions they had no control.
You, in turn, are doing the equivalent of demanding that every library be shut down because someone can use their archiving facility to find an old news article related to a term they're looking for.
Even if you weren't lying, the very real downside of what you demand is far greater than any actual proven downside of section 230 existing.

This does not prevent the defamed from going to court and having the content declared defamatory. Whether a site wants to abide by the court order that says “take that bullshit down” is another matter.

True. Also, mean or untrue comments aren't defamatory until actual harm is caused, per my own personal experience; no real harm was done to myself or to my reputation.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Reason doesn't stop YOU from misrepresenting Law
It is true that a newsstand or bookstore is liable if they do not remove content that they have been told is defamatory. I was wondering though; does that mean "defamatory as adjudicated by a court" or "provided with a notice of alleged defamation?" In the former case, I have no problem assigning liability if the distributor continues to sell the material even after they know it's defamatory. However, if the only notice of the "defamatory" nature of content is a complaint from the allegedly defamed party, I don't believe that's sufficient. Unfortunately in my brief research I couldn't determine which case is the legal standard.
You ask the search engine "find me websites that talk about [topic]" and it responds with "here are websites that talk about [topic]." Even if one of those websites says something defamatory, the search engine clearly didn't say it, and also isn't "distributing" it. All it's doing is pointing out the fact that a website made a statement. Even if the material is at some point adjudicated defamatory, that doesn't change the factual nature of the search engine's reporting - a website made a statement. I could get behind requiring the search engine or other 230-eligible website to put a notice up saying "this material was found to be defamatory in case so-and-so" but I'm not sure if it should go much beyond that.
I wonder if part of the reason you've arrived at this position is your apparent preference for litigation as a solution. Litigation is not a wronged party's only recourse. A target of anonymous defamation (on or off-line) isn't defenseless. They can respond in the same forum where the defamation occurred with their evidence showing that the defamatory speech is in fact defamatory, or by showing that the defamer's accusations are baseless. Respond to bad speech with more speech.
Spreading of rumors and gossip has always been risky. The internet and section 230 don't change that. If a rumor is spreading through high school, any consequences should be felt by the students spreading the rumor, not by the high school itself.

None of that matters if no actual harm has been done. The troll who targeted me contacted my employers directly and tried to get me fired. He failed because he could produce no evidence to back up his assertions.
When the police confirmed that I wasn't being investigated for committing any crimes, that was the end of the matter. As I've explained over and over again, if your conduct doesn't tally with the allegations made about you, no one will believe them.

Re: Reason doesn't stop YOU from misrepresenting Law.
1) The Constitution is The Supreme Law of the land.
Most of the constitution, including freedom of speech, limits what the government can do. Further it does not say that companies must carry your speech, but rather that the government cannot stop you publishing your speech at your own expense.
What you should consider is that if there are no popular websites supporting your point of view, then it is being rejected by most people. If it was what people wanted to hear, they would frequent sites that shared your point of view, making them popular.

If I created a phone-based service that people dialed into to access party-line "chat rooms," I could make use of the service conditional on "no political discussion" and kick people who didn't follow that rule... because I'd be a platform provider, not a common-carrier.

Re: Re: Re: Re:
No, it's not, because in order to apply, the platform/entity in question has to be a common carrier. Pizza joints aren't subject to it because guess what, THEY AREN'T COMMON CARRIERS. In the same manner, online platforms aren't subject to it for the same reason, they aren't common carriers.
That was not was stated in the original post or subsequent comments. Everyone in here has only been talking about "online" platforms, in part because there isn't any other type of platform to discuss in regards to this issue.
The phone network does not rely on or use the internet so it cannot be considered "online". It's also not a platform because it is a physical infrastructure and classified explicitly as a common carrier.

Re:
Search engines don't enable anyone to do anything like that. Search engines are like a librarian, they don't know the answer to your question, but they can help you find the book/resource that will answer your question. If the book/resource doesn't exist, then you don't get your question answered. Or in your example, if the website that ALREADY invaded your daughter's privacy didn't exist or hadn't done it, then the search engine wouldn't be able to show it to anyone.
Invading someone's privacy is a crime. If her landlord or contractor with a criminal record does this, then they should be reported and arrested. Note, they don't need a search engine to do this. I've heard tell that a pair of binoculars and an open window is sufficient to qualify as an invasion of privacy.
I assume you talking about information like medical records, place of residence, age, etc... All of that data has legitimate uses (just try living without giving out your age and address to anyone, anywhere) and some, like medical records are protected by law and shouldn't be publicly available. If records like those are publicly available, then the website or organization that is making them public should be reported. I guarantee that will get shut down real fast.
Other things like your age and place of residence is pretty much already public, but still, search engines don't put that information online, other sites do. Search engines just go see if they can find your info somewhere. Which is actually beneficial for you and your daughter because you can then go to those sites and ask that your personal information be removed and they are required to do so.
Bad people will abuse any and all information they can if they think it will benefit them. Again, search engines are not required for them to do that. People get access to other people's information all the time without using a search engine, because that information isn't contained in a search engine. It's contained in other sites or in a filing cabinet somewhere.
Cite me one case where someone's privacy was invaded SPECIFICALLY because of a search engine. Not just that they used a search engine to find a different site that contained someone's information, but that the search engine itself contained that information and that without said search engine they would never have been able to invade said person's privacy. Go ahead, I'll wait.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marla_Hanson
Marla Hanson (born c. 1961) is an American screenwriter and ex-model.
Born in Independence, Missouri, Hanson graduated from Odessa, MO High School and attended college at Southwestern Assemblies of God College (SAGU) in Waxahachie, Texas a suburb of Dallas, Texas. After working selling real estate and insurance, a job promotion brought her to New York City. There, a part-time modeling job eventually became a full-time career in the 1980s.
In June 1986, she rejected the sexual advances of her landlord, Steve Roth. Roth hired two friends, Steven Bowman and Darren Norman, to attack Hanson. Hanson testified that Roth asked her to step outside a bar, and then stood by while the two men, after announcing a "stick-up," slashed her face with a razor blade. The assault left three wounds that required surgery and over 100 stitches to close,[1] resulting in permanent scars.
Roth and the two attackers were tried separately, with Judge Jeffrey Atlas presiding over both trials. In Roth's trial, a lawyer for Roth suggested that his breaking off of a long-term gay relationship with Bowman that day led Bowman to attack Hanson out of jealousy.[2] In Roth's trial, he was found guilty of first degree assault for arranging the attack.
In the trial of Bowman and Norman a few months later, Hanson was subjected to a controversial cross examination by Bowman's defense attorney Alton H. Maddox, who impugned her character in a line of questioning the prosecutor called "disgusting and filthy". Maddox also asserted that Hanson had "racial hangups" that led her to falsely identify Bowman and Norman, who are black, as her attackers.[3] Hanson and her attorney later publicly criticized the criminal justice system for allowing her to be humiliated on the witness stand. Bowman and Norman were found guilty.
At sentencing, Atlas gave Roth the 5 to 15 year maximum sentence, but not before telling a weeping Hanson and her attorney he was "incensed" at their public criticism of the criminal justice system. After a brief recess, Atlas apologized to Hanson and her lawyer.[4] Mayor Ed Koch expressed outrage at Atlas's comments.[5] Bowman and Norman were sentenced to the 5 to 15 year maximum sentence as well.[6]

Re: Re:
I don't see anything in there about section 230 or a search engine "enabling" the attack.

I also don’t see anything in there about an invasion of privacy, digital or physical.

Re: Re:
And you then immediately cite a case that happened long before Section 230 and search engines were even a thing.
No one is ignoring the issue of privacy invasion, we're just calling out your insane assertion that somehow it wouldn't occur if Section 230 and search engines would just be outlawed.
The fact that you you disproved your own point by citing a case that happened before either even existed and that the crime was committed by personal acquaintances who didn't need to search out her private information because he was her landlord and already knew her private residence information, is just icing on the cake.

Re: Re: Re:
But don't you see, clearly Section 230 is so vile and bad that it enables crimes before it even existed, crimes that would clearly have been impossible but for the future existence of 230.

Did you own the copyright on that text? No?
The RIAA will be knocking on your door soon.

I mean, credit where it's due, at least Blue only obsesses about TD/Mike in general, and hasn't (yet) started daydreaming about Mike's family and/or started leaving material straight out a demented stalker's mind.

Re: Re:
Seriously, how fucked up do you have to be as a person where the only good that someone has to say about you is citing all the fucked up shit you didn't do?
