  "Notes": "<p>#supremecourt and #section230 of #cda</p><p>There is a case before the Supreme Court that will finally look at Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) that allowed “interactive” online platforms such as forums and read-write webpages to gain immunity from any content posted by users of the platform. <br /></p><p>If the outcome of this case revokes or changes section 230, limiting free speech on platforms, that will not necessarily move people to decentralized web3 platforms that have no central authority. </p><p>As we have already seen in the Tornado cash sanctions and the Canadian governments trucker sanctions, governments will go after anyone remotely connected to a decentralized app.</p><p>We don't want hateful or harmful information or actions, but we also don't want centralized platforms or authorities to tread on people's liberty.</p><p>While on the surface it is a good argument for decentralized platforms, it does not mean they will be any better than centralized platforms.</p>"
