    Big internet companies can get sued for the content users upload

    I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

      I suspect they just can’t be willfully negligent. Right now Facebook could actively promote a genocide and not see any consequences.

      You should, this is really bad. These laws are all so backwards. That’s like suing the postal service because of people putting illegal stuff in the mail. Or phone companies for streaming copyrighted material because a song was playing in the background.
