I wonder how advances in online teaching will affect homeschooling.

One thing I'm not sure about is the perspective that public education prevents child abuse. There are probably other more cost-effective ways to do that than with the current school system.

It would certainly change the face of the modern web. In the early 2000's, many blogs and news sites did not have comment sections.

Maybe a service like a third-party Disqus would come out that would split the user-generated content from the actual sites (and source the content via P2P networking).

Allow lawsuits against content providers, to be liable for what their users post.

Hear me out: There's another article here about how the EARN IT would attack Big Tech and reduce user freedom by limiting Section 230. Maybe Section 230 has helped the Internet grow into what it is today, but it might also be the reason for a lot of the toxicity.

I'm personally in favor of privacy and digital freedom, but if repealing that law would turn the Internet into a forum for civil intellectual discourse, it might be worth it.
