Suppose you make a new social media site, called Hatr.

No censorship. Absolute freeze peach. Nazis and worse welcomed with open arms.

The catch: they have to pay if you get sued for their content.

Jeff Bezos joins on the very first day. You're giddy with excitement. This is amazing.

He begins immediately posting endless streams of hate speech.

He gets sued, you get sued.

You discover that under the law you're facing a fine of $100,000 per day his content stays on your sight

Plus $100,000 per word of each of his posts.

If he has $164 billion dollars and makes $1.5 billion a week, how many centuries could he afford to use your site as an outlet for hate speech?
