If the "harm" is directly from actions by the social media company, Section 230 does not protect them. But, the problem that people have is that the "harm" they're upset about comes from third party *speech* on those platforms, and they don't want to go after the actual speakers.

My opinion is that there should be one big button labeled "opt out" and when you click it it should opt you out. Just in general.

I see this argument made all the time and it's embarrassing for CCDH to keep making it, because it's a lie. Section 230, what they're talking about, does not give anyone a "get out of jail free" card. It simply puts the liability on the party who actually engaged in the violative behavior.

“Go AI-free, Be Free of AI” is RIGHT THERE as a brand and global marketing campaign and is a literal billion-dollar play right now, guaranteed.
And this is what these companies keep doing.
At least CEOs being utterly useless dipshits remains consistent as a theme.

Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

A Christmas elf’s candy cane stripes represent their achievements in battle. Red indicates an elf has drawn blood, while green is reserved for those with confirmed kills. More exotic colors designate elves who take a particular pleasure in dismemberment

A point I find myself raising repeatedly: people focus on tech policy within a silo (privacy, speech, safety, copyright, competition, etc.), without understanding the actual impact on the system, where you push on just one of those levers and don't realize it's disastrous for the other ones.
A vital point here, first driven home to me by Cory Doctorow in the context of copyright policy, is that many forms of tech regulation that strike lots of folks as appealing and commonsensical would in practice require a fairly massive surveillance apparatus to meaningfully enforce.
“In fact, it would not have occurred to any liberal before the 1950s that one could settle these issues by rejecting the desirability of human flourishing; and that without some conception of the good, even the public good, one could decide what policy is ‘best’ (and how to rank its kinds).”
