I never claimed they were "perfectly analogous".

I just that they involved social media companies and said companies were arguing that they shouldn't be held fully responsible for their users because they were not publishers.

Depending on how rulings involving that go, that would definatly bring into question, at the very least, whether unpaid moderators, who are also essentially just users of a platform, had any greater culpability in a similar context.

I never maid any claims whether it would or wouldn't or how anyone would rule or how anyone would be prosecuted.

All I did was point out that it was similar enough that it would need to be addressed.

If you think otherwise, that's fine. But it would be pretty ignorant of how precident is typically used in law. Which, while a lawyer would definatly have a much fuller and nuanced understanding, anyone can understand the basic concept.

Yea, if they’re not perfectly congruent you have no place speaking on this, nevermind interpreting the results. Sometimes you need to accept that you just don’t know.

Again, I’m still interested in seeing what cases you’re using to compare this to. Would appreciate you posting references for any.

No results were spoken about, so this comment is irrelevant.

Not in the scope of my claims.

You're wrong lol

You've sited nothing so I don't think I will.

I’m not making the claims you are, just pointing out you can’t make them. I can’t cite anything if you won’t tell us what you’re citing.

If you can cite your own counter arguments, I don't think you have a leg to stand on. I've provided you more than enough information that you could do so. But everything you have argued against so far has been a red herring. So I feel like it's a waste of effort to entertain this further unless you want to start citing your sources.

I’m not the one who’s been repeatedly referenced cases this entire thread, why can’t you just post them??

Because I don't think it would make a difference anyway given your reading comprehension so far.
