I try not to do too many “Yeah, what he said” posts. But Keith Olbermann put it so beautifully last night I can’t resist.
You can follow this link to the video and transcript, or just watch the embedded video below….
I particularly like Senator Kennedy’s observation, made again by Olbermann. “You mean, Mr. PResident, you are really prepared to put the lives of the American people at risk just to protect the phone companies?”
Stay tuned . . . .
Actual fun hypo: if the FCC indeed has the authority to issue regulations on ambiguous and vague terms in #Section230, that means it can define the scope of "intellectual property." Could the FCC exclude the DMCA and thereby obviate #Section512's notice and takedown requirements? https://twitter.com/blakereid/status/1319290793803145223
"We have a Twitter question from Florida voter @smossdc, who asks: 'Section 230(e)(2) exempts questions of intellectual property law. In your view, does that exclude claims under the Vessel Hull Protection Act?'"

Today @FCC issued a report on @TMobile's June outage and found that @TMobile violated industry best practices. It's time @FCC used its authority to shield consumers from outages instead of just trusting carriers to prevent them voluntarily. More: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-367700A1.pdf
We live in interesting times.
The best journalists of our days are two comedians, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and one sportscaster, Keith Olbermann.
“We live in interesting times.” Isn’t that a Chinese Curse???
Olbermann was AWESOME.
