What are your thoughts on the SC agreeing to take the social media moderation cases? Will their decision impact nostr relays? users?
https://www.scotusblog.com/2024/02/social-media-content-moderation-laws-come-before-supreme-court/
I find myself in the awkward position of agreeing with the NYT and opposing any laws that categorize social media companies like FB and Twitter as some sort of common carriers.. I want them to burn in a 🔥, not because they are biased and censor alt views, but because they suck. I think they should also not have any more legal protection than publishers do when they publish slander, promote illegal investment schemes or post copyrighted cat videos. You can't have the right to censorship without also taking the responsibility that comes with it. My only concern is how such a ruling would impact Nostr relays. Perhaps we'll need to add some mechanism to make it impossible for relays to censor so that they are not in the same category as publishers.
