Earnestly referring to giant swaths of heterogeneous infrastructure as "the algorithm" is one good way to know you probably aren't the best person to suggest revisions to technology laws.
Legislating specific behaviors, on the other hand, does seem to work. Things like common carrier work very well because they are unambiguous. Courts don't have trouble with things like "never inspect packets" or things like that.

Here we reach common ground, mostly. Behaviors like "deleting personal data" can be demanded. But "never inspect packets" becomes a problem with we move to IPv18 and packets are now "glomules" and we have to fight over whether or not the law covers glomules.

I mean things like Section 230, the DMCA, liability, etc. I actually do think they should be revised, but I then _don't_ think they should be revised because I hear the people speak who might revise them and I'm like "this won't end well."
