Social code platforms are platforms that let users share and collaborate on datasets, AI models, and other coding projects (we call this content “social code”). When Congress considers changes to platform liability, lawmakers should not legislate with solely Facebook and Twitter in mind. This requires understanding what makes social code platforms different, how they underlie our digital infrastructure, their benefits and harms, and how they are affected by Section 230. Only then can we avoid the unintended consequences of legal reform that is outdated upon passage.
This seems unpersuasive. Microsoft doesn't have a legal duty to make sure the AI model hosted on Github isn't based on racist linear algebra, nor should it.
