What Is Section 230? Trump Threatens Veto Over 1996 Internet Service Shield

Posted on December 2, 2020 by [email protected]_84

KEY POINTS

Section 230 protects internet services companies from indecent content posted by users
The bill passed in 1996, long before social media existed
The courts have routinely sided with social media companies in arguments against protection

President Donald Trump threatened to veto a defense bill over a 1996 law that shields websites from liability over content created by their users.

The president said he would veto the $740 billion National Defense Authorization Act over Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which he called a “liability” that leaves national security and election integrity exposed to risk because of the protection it provides to “Big Tech”

…..Therefore, if the very dangerous & unfair Section 230 is not completely terminated as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), I will be forced to unequivocally VETO the Bill when sent to the very beautiful Resolute desk. Take back America NOW. Thank

Salesforce buying work-chat service Slack for $27.7 billion

Posted on December 2, 2020 by [email protected]_84

SAN RAMON, Calif. (AP) — Business software pioneer Salesforce.com is buying work-chatting service Slack for $27.7 billion in a deal aimed at giving the two companies a better shot at competing against longtime industry powerhouse Microsoft.

The acquisition announced Tuesday is by far the largest in the 21-year history of Salesforce. The San Francisco company was one of the first to begin selling software as a subscription service that could be used on any internet-connected device instead of the more cumbersome process of installing the programs on individual computers.

Salesforce’s flamboyant founder and CEO Marc Benioff hailed the “cloud computing” concept as the wave of the future to much derision initially.

But software as a service has become an industry standard that has turned into a gold mine for longtime software makers. Microsoft for one has developed its own thriving online suite of services, known as Office 365, which includes

Can you guess the next country to get Starlink internet service?

Posted on November 28, 2020 by [email protected]_84

a crane next to a large body of water: starlink canada

SpaceX gained regulatory approval to offer its high-speed internet service, Starlink, in Canada.
The company hopes to provide high-speed data service to individuals in areas where it just hasn’t been available before.
In the United States and Canada, rural customers are often left with few or no options for high-speed internet service.

SpaceX’s Starlink satellite-based internet service aims to provide high-speed data to places where it just wasn’t available previously, and the company just took a big step toward that goal. The company has reportedly gained regulatory approval from Canada’s Innovation, Science and Economic Development Ministry. With that red tape out of the way, the company is free to offer its service in the country when it’s ready.

Starlink has gained a lot of attention in the United States as a potential alternative to high-priced cable internet providers, but its aim, at least at
