Sen. Thom Tillis unveils a draft bill to revise the DMCA, requiring “service providers” to ensure that infringing material stays removed and does not reappear — Sen. Thom Tillis on Tuesday unveiled an overhaul of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which is intended to make it easier to stamp out pirated content online.
Discussion:
Senator Thom Tillis / @senthomtillis: Today, I released the first discussion draft of legislation to reform the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The Digital Copyright Act of 2021 is revolutionary legislation that would modernize U.S. copyright law for the new millennium. https://www.tillis.senate.gov/ ...
Katharine Trendacosta / @k_trendacosta: Good morning. I got up insanely early just to read the discussion draft of the worst copyright bill I've ever seen. If you thought you wanted to #StopDMCA before, just you wait. https://www.tillis.senate.gov/ ...
Katharine Trendacosta / @k_trendacosta: This thing is like super SOPA/PIPA. It calls for filtering in at least three places. It lowers the knowledge standard so that services have to take more and more down in order to not be liable.
Katharine Trendacosta / @k_trendacosta: I cannot stress enough how stupidly bad this bill is for the Internet. It's going to effectively shut down the ability to make and share things online.
Katharine Trendacosta / @k_trendacosta: In general, it gives massive regulatory power to the Copyright Office, basically handing over the Internet to them. Boy, I sure do want a group that sees major rightsholders and not the public interest as the Internet cop, don't you?

Discussion:
Jacob Kastrenakes / The Verge: Substack says readers and writers are really in charge of moderation
@peterbale: @codytfenwick @MediagazerChat The subtlety there is about imposing their @SubstackInc views. They are right, in my view, to explain those areas where they won't allow the platform to be used to spread hate or the nullification of the rights of others.
Cody Fenwick / @codytfenwick: @PeterBale @MediagazerChat @SubstackInc I think it makes plenty of sense to have those standards. But applying those standards necessarily means imposing their view of what meets those standards on the content creators. That's fine — good, even — but I think it's misleading to say they're not doing any censorship.
@peterbale: @codytfenwick @MediagazerChat @SubstackInc Interesting. I'd love to know what @hamishmckenzie thinks if that.
Nu Wexler / @wexler: Everyone says they don't need to moderate content until 35 reporters and 8 Congressional letters hit their inbox. https://blog.substack.com/...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: Substack's view of content moderation is intelligent and persuasive— to me. Worth reading. One thing I didn't like: the use of the “there are those who say...” device. Better to quote real people and argue with their stated views. And links to them. https://blog.substack.com/...
Taylor Lorenz / @taylorlorenz: “A lot of people suppose that we started Substack to be the next big thing in journalism. But what we're actually trying to do is subvert the power of the attention economy. We want people, not engagement-motivated platforms, to ultimately be in control.” https://blog.substack.com/...

Jesse Singal / @jessesingal: 3/ I just want to point out for the thousandth time how nuts it is that the views of a narrow slice of very privileged journalists so thoroughly dominate this discussion. Substack's approach is very popular among the (South-Park-watching, Joe-Rogan-listening) public, and yet we
Jesse Singal / @jessesingal: 4/ will surely see at least a handful of articles treating it as some sort of radical pro-bigotry policy.
Tim Marchman / @timmarchman: If Substack's just an email and payment service, it doesn't really need to have positions past “We don't serve child pornography or other flatly illegal content”; if it's anything other than that, performatively pretending not to have politics is, as ever, politics.
Jesse Singal / @jessesingal: 6/ This is the sort of hackishness I mean, of just not bothering to read the thing because you think you already know what it says and have typecast the authors in a certain way. It's better to first read, and then react. https://twitter.com/...
Sonny Bunch / @sonnybunch: Anyway! Substack is good and people who clamor for others to be silenced are, generally speaking, bad. Here's to having more good things in the world.
Tim Marchman / @timmarchman: I mean, my bank, the USPS, and my phone company don't write boring manifestos about why I'm allowed to write checks to pay for books by Nazis, have them delivered to my house, and talk on the phone about them without them butting in

Jesse Singal / @jessesingal: 1/ Substack has laid down a liberal stance on open discourse and moderation that is likely to get the site in trouble with many progresive journalists, but which is (in my view) broadly popular across the (normie) political spectrum — and very pro-writer. https://blog.substack.com/...
Scott Nover / @scottnover: Substack publishes its view on content moderation, of which it wants to do very little. (Pretty thoughtful whether or not you agree with the position.) https://blog.substack.com/...

Ben Collins / @oneunderscore__: Imagine how confusing this must be for the people who were buying into this stuff for weeks. Suddenly, it's verboten, and since you eschew actual information, you have no real idea why. https://twitter.com/...
Alheli Picazo / @a_picazo: I wonder if or when this is going to come for The Rebel and/or The Post Millennial. https://twitter.com/...

Lindsey Ellefson / The Wrap: Newsmax Host Sebastian Gorka Cuts Off MyPillow CEO's Debunked Voting Machine Claims Amid Legal Threat (Video)
Justin Baragona / @justinbaragona: Imagine how confusing and infuriating this must be for the viewers who flocked to Newsmax specifically because the channel was telling them that the election was stolen from Trump by corrupt voting software and Hugo Chavez https://twitter.com/...
Justin Kanew / @kanew: “Issues clarification” is a very generous way of saying “tries to cover for months of lying now that they face a many-million-dollar defamation lawsuit” https://twitter.com/...
Seth Abramson / @sethabramson: Trump's allies on Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN are running for the hills—airing massive disclaimers saying they have no evidence supporting anything Trump and his allies have been saying. Mostly these disclaimers don't come from the on-air talent—the *cowards*—who spread the lies. https://twitter.com/...
Julian Sanchez / @normative: I've said it before, but this is a demand-side problem. You're not going to fact check your way around the sizable chunk of the population that actively wants to be deceived. https://twitter.com/...
Ben Rhodes / @brhodes: “So, we're going to spread massive amounts of total disinformation like cancer metastasizing through American democracy, but we also don't want to get sued so we're offering this clarification.” https://twitter.com/...
David Corn / @davidcorndc: This is hysterical...and sad. It's what happens when you confront a disinformation outfit with two major lawsuits. https://twitter.com/...
Bakari Sellers / @bakari_sellers: This is what happens when you're about to get sued for your entire network. https://twitter.com/...
@pamkeithfl: Now... about the blatantly FALSE reporting from Fox News that convinced people that COVID 19 was a “Democrat hoax...” It was a shameless& indefensible lie that cost us thousands of lives & untold billions in lost economic activity. Few entities are MORE at fault than Fox News. https://twitter.com/...
Ted Bridis / @tbridis: Facts still matter: Under threat of civil lawsuit @newsmax publishes statement it found no evidence supporting claims it broadcast about voting machines and outcome of 2020 presidential election https://www.newsmax.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Alexander Chee / @alexanderchee: The spectacle of watching Newsmax try to forestall this lawsuit with pieces like this is a real pleasure. I hope Smartmatic sues and wipes them out. https://www.newsmax.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Ben Popper / @benpopper: This is what sounds like when disinformation masquerading as news suddenly realizes it might end up in court https://twitter.com/...
John Harwood / @johnjharwood: when suddenly a right-wing extremist network figures out that flagrant lies might cost them a lot of money https://twitter.com/...
Ryan Calo / @rcalo: SNL writers wish they had thought of the name John Tobacco https://twitter.com/...
Josh Marshall / @joshtpm: Someone's suddenly worried about a ruinous defamation suit that could put them out of business. https://twitter.com/...
Kevin M. Kruse / @kevinmkruse: This is like the list of insane corrections that SNL ran at the end of its “Fox and Friends” sketches, but for real. https://twitter.com/...
Hamilton Nolan / @hamiltonnolan: Just an FYI for our viewers, none of the stuff we said that constitutes the entire rationale for our existence is true. Haha. Yeah. So. Stay tuned for the Seb Gorka Christmas Special up next https://twitter.com/...

Miles Parks / @milesparks: Sort of stunning “article” from Newsmax today...... just casually admitting voting machine conspiracy theories they've been helping promote for weeks are bullshit https://www.newsmax.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: Missed this over the weekend, but Newsmax also posted this unbylined story online Saturday: “No evidence has been offered that Dominion or Smartmatic used software or reprogrammed software that manipulated votes in the 2020 election...” https://www.newsmax.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: This also comes after Smartmatic sent a legal threat to Newsmax and accused the network of participating in a “disinformation campaign” against it. https://twitter.com/...

Lin Wood / @llinwood: Knowing my background & experience in defamation law, Sidney @SidneyPowell1 asked me to represent her & respond to SmartMatic litigation threat. Since everything Sidney is saying about election fraud is documented TRUTH, my response to SmartMatic was simple & to the point. https://twitter.com/...

Justin Baragona / @justinbaragona: Maria Bartiromo ended her show today with the Smartmatic fact-check that already ran on Lou Dobbs' and Jeanine Pirro's shows.

@thephilosotroll: It turns out that if you spend every waking hour directing false and irresponsible stories at private organizations and people, at some point someone might sue you, and leave you with a lot of exposure.

Dan Froomkin / @froomkin: That is a ridiculously loose definition of “news organization”. Are you one just because that's what you call yourself? These are propaganda and entertainment companies masquerading as news orgs. https://twitter.com/...
@slpng_giants: Really hope that Smartmatic and Dominion stick with this lawsuit despite the dangerous precedent it will set. Fox's lies have destroyed individuals, families, businesses and even public health. There needs to be a line established that cannot be crossed. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Daniel Chaitin / @danielchaitin7: Legal threats from Smartmatic/Dominion jeopardize Newsmax & OAN's dream of becoming a new “Trump TV.” Both are burning money to steal ratings from Fox, executives from both companies have acknowledged, and litigation could scare investors, @benyt writes https://www.nytimes.com/...

Ben Meiselas / @meiselasb: Notice how he says “there are lots of opinions” about the 2020 election. His lawyers advised him an “opinion” is a defense to defamation. So he claims his disinfo are “opinions” then presents the FACTS as if it's a counter-opinion. This is how they will defend defamation cases. https://twitter.com/...
Tom Porter / Business Insider: The CEO of a voting-systems company says politicians around the world are worried that Trump's conspiracy theories will be used to undermine their own elections

Web / @webbarr: “The videos take months of prep. A lot of them take four to five days of relentless filming. There's a reason other people don't do what I do.” Even on YouTube overnight success takes years and a ton of work. Good read on @MrBeastYT, YouTuber, 🍔 boy! https://www.bloomberg.com/...

Gavin Purcell / @gavinpurcell: i wonder if succeeding at the internet like this (which mrbeast has clearly done) is a young person's game, kind of like being a chess prodigy or a physics genius. the sheer amount of work has burnt out many, many others. part of it is the hard transition into what's next. https://twitter.com/...
Mark Bergen / @mhbergen: More than anything, MrBeast is an operations juggernaut. And old-school YouTube reveres him. “He lives on a different planet” ~ @Casey https://twitter.com/...

Lucas Shaw / @lucas_shaw: Among the many ridiculous facts about @MrBeastYT — 48M subscribers on YouTube, 4 billion views a year — theres also this: in a recent year, he threw away 66% of his videos because he didn't think they were good enough. https://www.google.com/...
