The founder of the fringe internet message board 8chan has a message for lawmakers and their staff before the website’s current owner, Jim Watkins, is deposed Thursday on Capitol Hill: “He’ll lie through his teeth.”
, a professor at the Middlebury College Institute of International Studies who served for a decade as a top counterterrorism official at the State Department, noted that Congress may not be able to mitigate noxious speech, as it most likely would be protected under the First Amendment, but that Congress could put press on Watkins.
Blazakis said a second legislative step, drafting a law that could make it easier for individual citizens to hold 8Chan liable for the conduct carried out on its platform, would be “difficult to achieve.” “What laws do you think you’re bound by? What are your concerns over civil liberties? Would you feel comfortable testifying in public?” Levin said.
