Basically, the court said that algorithmically selected content doesn’t qualify for Section 230 protections, which could be a massive impact to every social media platform out there that has any sort of algorithm selecting content, which, well, is all of them.
Definitely something that’s going to be interesting watching play out.

Yesssssss please regulate the shit out of social media
There might be some question over whether a simple-enough algorithm (such as newest or most voted sort) should be excepted if opted into by the user.
I’d be fine with the defaults being newest-to-oldest or top-score, depending on the type of site.
