Critics Take AIm At Section 230

Generative AI can now produce audio and video experiences that are indiscernible from the real thing. Technology facilitates the digital dissemination of user-generated content (UGC) faster and more ubiquitously than ever. While these developments promise to transform the way humans work, play, learn, and interact, they can also enable antisocial and illegal behaviors.

There is legitimate concern that these two vital components of the Web3 revolution could combine to threaten user privacy and promote bullying, hate speech, human trafficking, and other selfish purposes. The anonymity provided by online aliases, avatars, and blockchain protocols allows villains to emerge from the dark web and hidden corners of the internet. They can now leverage legitimate websites and services to plan and carry out their nefarious schemes.
