Vimeo

by Wendy Davis  @wendyndavis, 6 hours ago A federal appellate panel has reiterated its earlier ruling that “former homosexual” James Domen can't proceed with claims that Vimeo violated anti-discrimination laws by removing his videos touting gay conversion therapy and deleting the account of Church United, which he founded.The move came just one week after the same appellate judges granted Domen's request to reconsider their earlier ruling, handed down in March.The amended decision, issued by Circuit Judges Rosemary Pooler, Richard Wesley and Susan Carney, is several pages longer than the March ruling but reached the same result: Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act protects the online video company from Domen's claims.Section 230 broadly immunizes web publishers from liability for users' posts, including ones that are defamatory. Section 230 also protects websites from lawsuits over content moderation -- including decisions to suppress speech that is legal, but violates a site's terms of service. (The First Amendment also protects companies from lawsuits over content moderation.)advertisementadvertisementThe new decision includes a statement that Section 230 protections are not absolute, writing: “Our decision should not be read to confer immunity on providers acting in circumstances far afield from the facts of this case.”But it's not…

Dive Insight: TikTok is teaming with Vimeo to integrate the software solutions provider’s video-creation tools into its app, according to a news release. The Vimeo Create feature, now available in the TikTok Ad Manager, is targeted at small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to help them trim production times and costs. Vimeo is the first TikTok partner to land in a new Creative Tools subcategory under the ByteDance-owned platform’s larger Creative Partners program. Leading up to the rollout, the companies asked marketers new to TikTok to test the product, with soy-based candle brand NaturalAnnie Essentials reporting conversion rates more than five times higher than those on other online channels. Courting more SMBs offers another sign that TikTok is quickly maturing into a digital advertising heavyweight that can rival competitors like Snapchat and Instagram.Through integrating Vimeo’s tools, TikTok is promoting ease of use for marketers that may not have the resources or know-how to regularly churn out high-quality videos. Vimeo Create applies artificial intelligence to help brands produce and publish content directly to TikTok, with a focus on volume. TikTok’s endlessly scrolling For You Page — a main feed that algorithmically surfaces videos from around the app — requires frequent posting and…

A little-watched civil rights case that threatens Silicon Valley’s Section 230 immunity took a huge step forward on July 16, as an appeals court that rarely does so agreed to review a lower court’s decision. The U.S. Appeals Court for the Second Circuit in New York agreed to review a lower court’s ruling that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) protects Big Tech companies such as Vimeo from civil rights liability in censorship cases. Big Tech censorship became a hot button issue during the 2020 presidential campaign when then-President Donald Trump was selectively censored by Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook. The controversy became especially heated late in the campaign when a New York Post series of news articles regarding the allegedly corrupt business dealings of President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, was banned by the Big Tech giants. Trump has filed a class-action lawsuit in federal court against the firms that censored him. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has also been the most vocal of multiple congressional conservative Republican critics of Section 230 immunity. The case of Domen v. Vimeo came about after Vimeo, an Internet video-hosting company, terminated Church United’s video streaming activities after it featured videos of five men…
