I’ve been listening to a set of audio lectures about Ulysses. They’re pretty enjoyable and make it a lot more clear about what’s going on. (Some of the mapping between the Greek story and what Joyce wrote seems contrived, but that’s the world of literary criticism for you).
There is a copy of Finnegan’s Wake on my bookshelf, staring at me. It frightens me. :-)
Section 230 would disagree with this. Not defending the utter, stupid hellpit that is Facebook, but it’s not how things work. Protection of the content of online services is a double-edged sword.
