Instead of regulating tech giants, the idea here is to create regulation which benefits companies who have spend hundreds of millions on content regulation and puts an onus on small players to match up.
The vague and ill defined proposal calls for lawmakers to condition Section 230’s legal protections on whether services can show “that they have systems in place for identifying unlawful content and removing it.” According to Zuckerberg this revised law would not create liability if a particular piece of unlawful content fell through the cracks.
Instead the law would impose a duty of care on platforms to have adequate “systems in place” with respect to how they review moderate and remove user generated content.
Congress should reject it and move on to doing the real, detailed work that it has to do before it can change Section 230.
This pretty much sums it up, why do half measures or include vague statements just to get something rushed out (other than the benefit for Facebook themselves).
