this is a genuinely unsettling thing to see an NYT writer say. it's essentially an uncontested fact that in the social media era, large majorities of people don't read past the headline.
also, with love, I think people ascribe too much power to headlines. I see this discourse that seems to assume that, if the headline was different, it would somehow be a KO to make the subject of the story act different? but when subjects call to complain about a story, it's almost always a detail.

without section 230, you could have a world where bluesky is liable for me calling this man a clueless, tech illiterate, fascist enabling motherfucker
It’s time to repeal Section 230. We must be able to take social media companies to court for addicting kids and enabling drug trafficking on their platforms.

really wish you could report an account for only posting horrific content. the account at issue below has only posted animal cruelty; no one should have to click into that stuff to appropriately report it. seems like a quick win to expand the scope of “posts unwanted content” at the account level?

Also, new folks, please know that when it comes to trolls, jerks, chuds and other undesirables here in the sky, we subscribe to the idea of “Don’t Engage, Just Block.” The block function is superpowered and expunges them entirely from your timeline. They hate it! Block with wild abandon! Don’t wait!
