@fedilab It sounds like Google doesn’t think apps on the Play Store deserve the same Section 230 style protections that Google themselves enjoy. @Gargron@tateisu
@realcaseyrollins@dave@tateisu@Gargron@fedilab when senators supportive of reform are asked directly about it, they tend to reveal they lack a confident understanding of Section 230, how it applies to each of these companies, and whether or not they themselves have the authority to either request investigation or imply they could. They’re lawyers, after all, and lawyers hire others for that information, if and when it is pertinent.
