Disagree. Without Section 230 (or equivalent laws of their respective jurisdictions) your Fediverse instance would be forced to moderate even harder in fear of legal action. I mean, who even decides what "AI deception" is? your average lemmy.world mod, an unpaid volunteer?

It's a threat to free speech.

Also, it would be trivial for big tech to flood every fediverse instance with deceptive content and get us all shut down

Just make the law so it only affects things with x-amount of millions of users or x-percent of the population number minimum. You could even have regulation tiers toed to amount of active users, so those over the billion mark are regulated the strictest, like Facebook.

That'll leave smaller networks, forums, and businesses alone while finally giving some actually needed regulations to the large corporations messing with things.

How high is your proposed number?

Why is Big = Bad?

Proton have over 100 million users.

Do we fine Proton AG for a bunch of shitheads abusing their platform and sending malicious email? How do they detect it if its encrypted? Force them to backdoor the encryption?
