Um what. I don't think it was about labeling speech. It's labeling the platform which includes a lot more than speech. Namely how and what speech is presented to a particular individual a.k.a. The Algorithm. This reads like a disingenuous interpretation to safeguard the interest of social media giants. I did not expect this take from the EFF.
Go home EFF, you're drunk.
Clearly you're not a lawyer. Just someone with bad opinion.
“Whether code is covered by free speech is actually pretty settled. The answer is yes" ... "the idea that certain industries or groups may want to regulate who can use particular pieces of code does not negate the idea that code generally ought to be considered a mode of expression subject to protection under the First Amendment”
Oh boy, this could be problematic.
