I realize this all happens in the arcane and twisted world of the legal professions, but really, it should be damn well obvious that Google isn't liable even if Section 230 never existed.
It's probably so damn obvious, that this is why 230 was included in Title V. Duh, is my phone company a publisher? Is a utility company or a city a publisher if i graffiti or post flyers? No? Well neither is a hosting service.
So were corporations which stored their papers, microfiche, and other media, outside the US. As well as their money.
If they really go this route, we ought also to be able to collect taxes on money stashed anywhere, including those super private tax havens, and regardless as to whether a former US corporation reincorporated elsewhere.
I f we are going to keep reaching into other countries, let's have at it all the way, not selectively.
Yes, that is the biggest backlog of DNA testing by several orders of magnitude.
They'll swab someone they know they have run in on BS charges that won't ever stick, and have that processed though. And totally keep that in the system forever. It's cool.
So the post is both erroneous and and an assault on China not because of what it says, but because of who may have said this in a quotable manner once.
China and Mercedes officially hate looking at anything from more than one angle. That's probably an obvious thing with most governments and corporations, but good to hear it openly admitted.
You do realize that people can be very pro- second amendment, and absolutely loathe the NRA, right?
It has even happened in a big way before, when the NRA was effectively co-opted by turnover in management. Even though their rhetoric has the same flavor, they were a lot more responsible back in the day.
Also it clearly shows how wrongheaded the NRA is about NN, so you might question their other thinking and activities. Further, why did they even dip their toe into this? I find it just plain odd they are weighing in on NN.
I would guess that one thing they were thinking was that they might look good involving themselves in something not gun-related. By presenting a weapon that can't possibly be used in the manner in which maniacs in our culture like to do every month or so, i am sure they imagined no one would make any negative associations.
People busy playing ancient games (or those from last release cycle) might be too busy to add to the numbers for newer releases, regardless as to how much money a company could make from continuing to host the older games. Besides, corporations don't want anyone to be thinking about how they can't seem to continue hosting games at maybe slightly lower total profit (even if the margin is still way high), while a museum or someone can manage to host a game at a cost.
The CBP doesn't do it well on our side to begin with. Especially at the largest checkpoints, the commercial ones. They are more interested in killing the few that struggle through the wilderness.

Yeah, AT&T always goes all out when they try to sell the bullshit. Remember the pro-merger spots with children and fireflies? That was cute too.

They aren't interested in solving crimes, justice, or even the all-holy conviction rate. Cops just wanna snoop.
