This op-ed is real smooth brain wsj.com/articles/save-…

There HAVE been proposals that would cause this problem, but companies change strategy ALL THE TIME due to threats of regulatory changes [pic 1]

And pic 2 is utter nonsense. 230 was written by @WydenPress and Rep. Cox...
@WydenPress to clarify liability law. History via them: usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

And it isn't any special immunization like in the other cases and it doesn't even demand any particular behavior! It just says each is liable for his own speech
@WydenPress Also there's no threat of prosecution.

And WHO HAS DONE THIS MORE THAN TRUMP???
@WydenPress This article makes no sense - they're blaming social media for being scared by government then they're saying social media will retaliate if pressured. What??
@WydenPress This is just such an embarrassment that they'd write this. Not serious people.
@Popehat I encourage you to add your takes because my head is spinning

For small businesses, online tools are key to survival timesunion.com/opinion/articl… @timesunion

"According to a UPS survey, 41% of small businesses changed course, with 65% doing more business online."

STOP TRYING TO KILL THE GOLDEN, RESILIENT GOOSE
"Online sales have doubled compared with the same period in 2019. An interesting consequence of the pandemic has been the sudden influx of NYC residents to regions north, leading to an increase in sales of upstate-branded products."
"I am thankful we have digital platforms such as @Etsy, @instagram, and @Google to provide affordable services to keep business humming during this difficult year — from connecting with suppliers to communicating with customers."

love @RonWyden and Cox xoxoxoxoxoxoox

"They sought hundreds of millions in damages from Prodigy, simply for hosting the comment on its platform."
"Prodigy argued it should not be responsible for the content its users create. It had no way of knowing whether Stratton Oakmont was a fraud or not and had never expressed an opinion on the subject. But a New York court held in favor of the real-life Wolf of Wall Street..."
"The court specifically cited Prodigy’s efforts at content moderation, aimed at prohibiting online harassment, as the reason for treating it differently than online platforms where “anything goes.”"

NEW at @RSI!! @courtneyatlas and I did a post updating the ideas we had in March to highlight what we still need to be doing: Licensing reform for mobility and scope of practice for medical professionals, telehealth, access to care broadly, etc.

Basically: Mobility + capacity
Temporary reforms are good. Permanent ones are better and allow for better access with regulatory certainty that temp fails to provide.

1) UNIVERSAL LICENSING RECOGNITION in mold of model in AZ, @dougducey being the first to do it. And have provisions to expedite in emergency
Medical professionals have to be allowed to help in hotspots now, and they should be able to make permanent moves when they so choose. And 19 states have special statutes to protect volunteers during emergencies!!!

fine ill watch the fucking social media documentary. hope you're ready for angry tweets
Very normal and accurate documentaries present only 1 side and no dissenting views
And take dozens of news clips entirely out of context. Very strong start

So ACB has a damn impressive record on the 4th Amendment.

And hopeful signs on qualified immunity reason.com/2020/09/23/amy…
I'm not with her on the rational basis test, but I know my view is the minority ... for now ... reason.com/2020/09/24/amy…
But if judiciary grills her on rational basis, it's silly bc they usually DEMAND this view from judges. Which is fine, but if they grill her and turn towards a @RandyEBarnett view for reals I'm here for it
Also most of my links will be @reason bc they sum up my larger thoughts in a readable way!

Also worth noting she seems like Kavanaugh-level of judge in certain ways. Very focussed on maintaining judicial stability but also moving gently in the future direction of jurisprudence
