  • The Epicenter of Conspiracy Belief

    Individuals with economically left-wing and culturally conservative attitudes tend to score highest on conspiracy thinking. People at this ideological location seem to long for both economic and cultural protection and bemoan a “lost paradise” where equalities had not yet been destroyed by “perfidious” processes of cultural modernization and economic neoliberalism. This pattern is found across all countries and holds regardless of socioeconomic characteristics such as education and income.

  • First Amendment Doesn't Apply to Descriptions of Content Moderation Practices-Bride v. Snap - Technology & Marketing Law Blog

    the Ninth Circuit said that plaintiffs could get around Section 230 in their lawsuit against the app maker YOLO because the app maker said it would ban users for inappropriate statements and would unmask harassers. This opinion raised numerous Section 230 jurisprudential issues. First, those kinds of statements are almost certainly not enforceable promises. Second, a more recent Ninth Circuit opinion (Doe v. Grindr) rejected a Section 230 workaround for Grindr’s statement that it provides a “safe and secure environment for its users” because the statement was “a description of its moderation policy.” So where exactly is the Ninth Circuit’s law on this topic? I don’t know.
