In all seriousness, though, this is why I bought a human-translated book of the Chinese classic novel Journey to the West instead of just Google-translating the Project Gutenberg page. No matter how good Google Translate is, a competent human translator is simply better at the job. Also, unless the human is John DiMaggio, Google Translate won't tell me to bite its shiny metal ass.
Another major city can no longer use their water because of high lead levels... and the focus of these idiots is if people can use MC to see porn. Those are some really fucked up morals you have there Skippy, pretty sure when Jesus comes back its just going to be to bitchslap you.
The Bible seems to confirm that (specifically Matthew 21:31).
t’s not just her doing these streams and it’s not just people individually choosing to go to the stream to watch her. When streams where people do stuff like this get lots of viewers and hit the front page of Twitch where people can wind up seeing it whether they want to or not, that becomes a problem.
So shouldn't Twitch have some sort of filter to filter out that stuff if people don't want to do that? That seems more like a "filter" moderation problem (e.g. allowing certain people to see certain content if they wanted to) than a "ban"/"kick" moderation problem (e.g. removing users from their service).
It's difficult to tell if the politicians who don't understand that repealing/"reforming" §230 are willfully ignorant or know what would happen but are lying through their teeth. I'm willing to bet that they're so stubborn in their ideology that they don't see the reality of what would happen around them. Such is the way of Washington, DC…

Koby, Koby, Koby. Facebook has armies of lawyers who can fend off liability. Your average mom-and-pop website–like, say, TechDirt–cannot.
