Here I thought the modern internet is able to exist because platforms specifically are not responsible for what its users do.
It’s illegal for imgur to host illegal images I can see why eBay would be responsible for people selling illegal items.
Imgur hosts the images vs eBay only hosts the information, the sellers ship the product to the buyer
big thing about Ebay is they often also process the transactions
Very good point.
Hosting is hosting and images are information.
Imgur has to take down the illegal image when requested to do so. Imgur isn’t charged for having a user upload an illegal image.
This is the part that bothers me too. Assuming they haven’t been asked to remove them already that is.
Sort of. They essentially have to be given the opportunity to take corrective action but if they don’t then they get fine. Or indeed other things depending on the severity of what’s happening.
See Reddit and all the subs they were eventually forced to shut down.
To a point, I suspect that applies to speech things, not necessarily physical items.
But that’s a good question, I don’t know where the line lies.
the line lies where you start harming other people (and their habitat), that’s literally the definition.
your freedom ends where my freedom begins
Yeah but what if I’m an idiot redneck then other people aren’t allowed freedoms. Only me.
Hmm. While I agree generally, your response seems a little vague. Definition of…? Freedom?
I’m saying I wonder where, formally, a company goes from being an information platform, to something else. That’s the very point at which ebay started becoming liable for what people did on their systems.
They’re not just hosting pictures, they’re selling real-world items to circumvent laws in a visibly annoying way. People in CA get away with uncovered high intensity off-road aux lights because nobody’s really abused them.
Coal-rollers like being obvious, stinky dickheads, hence the crackdown on both sales and installations.
