US Supreme Court

50665-99823-supreme-court-xl.jpg

The Supreme Court has shown unusual self-awareness in addressing Section 230 and said that since they aren't even close to being internet experts, deciding the future of the web should probably be done by Congress.

I'm glad the supreme court finally realized, at least in this instance, that they don't know anything about the internet. As for Congress being better suited, I highly doubt that as well. Congress, made up of politicians, makes many decisions based on who's paying them the most amount of money. Going after Google for something posted on youtube is hilarious when there are purported news agencies who constantly make up things and have rarely been held accountable. It take a lawsuit to stop them and even then that is subject to our judicial system, which is suspect at best.

You understand that a single Justice’s remarks during oral arguments does not represent the Supreme Court collectively admitting anything, right? Not only does a comment by Justice Kagan not represent an opinion of the whole Court, it also doesn’t represent what her own opinion may ultimately be. So the headline “Supreme Court admits” is grossly incorrect and misleading. 

During oral arguments, Justices make comments and pose questions not as a statement of their opinions, but as a means of probing and challenging the presenting attorneys. Those thoughts can be based on their real opinions or they can be entirely rhetorical.
