    Can a platform be held responsible for what its users do? In this video, we explore that question through the stories of two tech founders, Kim Dotcom (Megaupload) and Pavel Durov (Telegram). From jail cells to massive raids, we dive into how legal gray areas have sent people to prison for user-generated content, and why the rules aren't applied equally across companies. Is it fair, or should things change? Let's break it down.

    What’s your take? Should platform owners be held accountable?

      @@MarijnRoorda Piratebay is still going strong! And no, owners shouldn't always be liable for what happens on their platforms. The scope for charges would be infinite. The only grey area that could even be argued are things like negligence, willful disregard, pattern and practice, active promotion of certain activities,etc. And even in those cases its unclear. Its ethical to undermine things like the failed war on drugs. Illegal does not mean immoral.

      Yes, beyond a certain point, you are complicit. It's called being the principal. As a boss, is it your fault when a subordinate acts poorly? Yes and no. Yes, because you are responsible for them and their actions. No, because they are their own individuals, but you will still suffer consequences.

    The number of criminals/illegal activity on your platform isn't what matters, it's the percentages of it. People upload illegal content on RUclips all the time, and it gets taken down all the time. But if that number is say 100,000 pirated videos taken down a day does that mean that we should lock up Google's CEO? 100,000 is quite low considering the fact that 3.7 million videos are uploaded daily.

    I think a lot of people are missing the nuances in the legality of these platforms. Obviously things like sex trafficking and unregulated weapons are common crimes in basically every country, but not every government practices rule of law and might bend the law to when determining what is legal.
    If platforms set a precedent in complying with a government, what's stopping them from complying with another and invading their user's privacy?
    Where do they draw the line? It's not as black and white as most people think it is.

    You should keep in mind that in Europe there is no absolute free speech like in the USA. Be it France, Germany, or Slovenia, there is stuff that you cannot say in public (praising fascist regimes for an example), and some platforms have become public places with their popularity.

    This was an excellent summary. Thanks so much.
    Law enforcement still has the same tools they've always had (pre-internet) to catch criminals and they need to use those.
    If we end-to-end encryption is compromised, the loss of freedom and privacy to everyone everywhere will have a much greater cost than not being able to stop some bad guys online.

    Neither of these are going, they are responsible only for the policy of the platform and for enforcing that policy, but not for what the users upload. However, the timing in 2012 is suspicions, looks like it is in sync also with the freeze of the Iranian assets. So, the real question which should be asked: was that platform propagating an invisible virus for a financial warfare and who was orchestrating the contracts for that? And that leads to the government...

    _Given_ that Kim actively engaged in piracy in the past, using various levels of plausible deniability, it is reasonable to say this is more of the same. I'm not sure if this rises to "beyond a reasonable doubt" But it is "clear and convincing" that Kim meant this for piracy and used legitimate business purposes as cover. (In fairness, the lesson most people learn from prison is "don't get caught.")
    When you say it is terrible that people believe "disinformation," my first thought is "as defined by whom?" I do not trust any proposed arbiter of truth. I cannot trust anyone to tell me what is and is not "disinformation."
    I really don't think government cares about CSAM except as a tool to get people to support surveillance. If it cared, it would go after the people actually abusing the children. Instead, it plays whack-a-mole with the consumers. As long as the supply is there, there will always be consumers. Government can pretend it is "doing something." But producing the stuff is what is hard. It requires getting access to the children. This is something government could actually cut off -- if it wanted to.
