Chapter 461
ICNC TV station is the most concerned about today's bill, and even prepared a small program, invited several Internet industry experts and law professors to analyze this matter, and sent a live reporting team to catch up To Washington, reporting firsthand.
"Today, the American Capitol Hill will vote on Article 230 of the Communications Regulation Act, which will have an important impact on the Internet industry. Many people in Silicon Valley have called for Capitol Hill to pass this bill..."
On ICNC TV, the hostess is reporting, and the picture on the side shows the scene of Capitol Hill, which is the live picture taken by the team who rushed to Washington.
Song Yang glanced at the time, and the entire banquet was also focused on the TV station at this time.
After a while, there seemed to be news coming from the headset, and the expression on the hostess's face changed significantly, "According to the latest news sent back by the Washington reporter of ICNC TV, the House of Representatives on Capitol Hill voted 406 in favor and 11 against, procedurally voting to pass the federal regulation Section 230 of the Act!"
"Respect Song!"
"To the Bruno family!"
After the host's voice came out from the TV station, the scene of the villa paused for a few seconds, and immediately there was a lot of applause. Evan Spiegel and Gallo raised their glasses and shouted vigorously.
Song Yang raised his wine glass with a smile, and drank it down amidst the cheers.
After drinking a glass of wine, the villa was completely noisy at this time. Song Yang looked at the TV station. 406 votes were in favor, and the 11 votes against were basically a process. It can be said that Bill 230 was almost unanimously passed!
"Any communication computer service provider or user should not be regarded as the publisher or spokesperson of any information from other information content providers!"
A spokesperson appeared on ICNC TV, claiming to the media that Bill 230 was passed. The entire bill is only 26 words, which sounds awkward, but it can be summed up in one sentence. Internet companies are not responsible for users' comments on the platform. , In addition, those who have the right to "good faith" delete some inappropriate remarks of users on the platform or even their accounts, and do not need to bear responsibility...
This is equivalent to having a gold medal for avoiding death, which can avoid Internet companies. Because of these remarks, they are sued by users, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Department of Justice. The website can almost shout the phrase "My territory is up to me" , You can delete it as you want, federal laws can't control it!
"Congratulations, Song!"
Jonny Munch raised his wine glass to Song Yang. The passage of the 230 bill can almost indicate that the upstarts of the Internet will officially enter the market in America, and Internet giants will appear, and they will sit on an equal footing with those giants from traditional industries. .
And Jonny Munch understands better that the emergence of the 230 Act has brought Song Yang's power to a new level. This is a power that could not be represented by a dollar before. Because of the right time, place and people, it also marks that Song Yang's influence is not only on the Internet, it has been able to affect Capitol Hill and even federal bills!
If there is no accident tomorrow, as long as it is a media magazine about the Internet, almost all of them will report on Bill 230. This will definitely be the most important bill since the rise of the Internet industry.
Belia standing behind Jonny Monhe, staring at Song Yang with burning eyes, a strange blush appeared on her face, her family background, following Jonny Monhe's side for so many years, Beria Knowing how difficult it is to pass a federal bill, let alone a federal bill, even a state bill would have to wrestle for a long time before it can enter the state assembly, and whether it can be passed is another matter.
But now, Song Yang has already let a bill pass almost unanimously on Capitol Hill. Compared with those of his peers, Song Yang's worth, power, and Song Yang's Hollywood-level face, Bei Liya's gaze towards Song Yang was almost undisguised, but what made Bellia complain was that Song Yang turned a blind eye to her gaze.
The atmosphere at the banquet was extremely enthusiastic, and glasses of wine were brought up continuously. At this time, the Nasdaq stock market was already going crazy!
This wave can almost be said to be good for portal websites. As a representative of portal websites, Yahoo's stock price has been the first to bear the brunt and began to skyrocket.
The entire Silicon Valley and Wall Street were almost waiting for this moment. The moment Bill 230 was passed, Nasdaq began to skyrocket, and Yahoo's stock price led Nasdaq even higher.
Since its listing last year, although Yahoo's stock price has gone up and down, it has basically been going up all the way. It's just that Double-click was hunting down Wall Street's short-selling institutions before, which made Double-click's stock price and market value reach an outrageous level, and Yahoo's limelight was taken away. .
But this year, Yahoo's market value has exceeded 7 billion dollars, officially surpassing Netscape and Double-click, and becoming the first Silicon Valley stock on Nasdaq!
And this year, as soon as the news of Bill 230 came out, the stock price of Yahoo, which had not yet undergone a stock split, broke through $210, and its market value broke through $10 billion in a straight line!
"Praise Bruno Song!"
In Yahoo's new office building, the two founders, Zhiyuan Yang, Filo, and President Coorg were all there. Everyone was watching the stock price of Yahoo that was about to break through the screen. At this moment, Coorg couldn't help but say something.
Hearing what Coorg said, the conference room was filled with laughter again. The management of Yahoo has undergone several adjustments. The familiar faces of Song Yang, Brady, the No. After leaving Yahoo, the current Yahoo management is basically people from Silicon Valley venture capital and Wall Street institutions.
"Although I don't like that Bruno Song guy, his ICQ launched a portal to compete with Yahoo, but I have to admit that he is indeed an Internet genius, God, how did he come up with Bill 230, which makes Yahoo It's completely different from those publishers, who don't need to take any legal responsibility..."
A person who entered Yahoo's board of directors from a large Wall Street institution and became a new member of Yahoo's board of directors couldn't help but said with a smile.
Now Wall Street regards Yahoo as if it is its own. Even though Yahoo's major shareholder is SoftBank, Wall Street has a greater influence on Yahoo, especially seeing Netscape, the once darling, may not be able to sustain it. Wall Street is Ready to win another company that represents Silicon Valley and the Internet!
The big institutions on Wall Street also considered pursuing ICQ, Double Click, AOL, Lycos, etc., but they all gave up in the end.
Song Yang's personality is completely different from Yang Zhiyuan's. Wall Street can dictate to Yahoo, arrange new presidents, directors, and change the direction of Yahoo's development. Even if Yang Zhiyuan is dissatisfied, he will not object "for" Yahoo. Or let Yahoo develop according to the wishes of Wall Street.
You can try to point fingers at ICQ and Double-click. If you dare to do this on the first day, you may not finish the night. People on Wall Street will be driven away from companies such as ICQ and Double-click.
Lycos is backed by Europeans, and they can't be in the same groove as Wall Street. Those Europeans use Lycos to cut the leeks of the American people. Wall Street can't carry the sedan chair for Bertelsmann, Telefónica, and Canadian Telecom behind Lycos.
AOL's Keith is not an easy character either. He is true to the Wall Street institutions as brothers and sisters, but he will not be a puppet of Wall Street. After counting and counting, he has the hope of becoming a giant. Download Yahoo!
"Yahoo wants to notify the media to report on Yahoo and Jerry. For the impact of the 230 bill, Jerry is the president of the American Internet Society!"
Jerry is Yang Zhiyuan's English name. At this time, Coorg said to Yang Zhiyuan and a group of Yahoo directors and executives that he planned to gain both fame and fortune.
Yang Zhiyuan himself was obviously taken aback when he heard this. He is indeed the president of the American Internet Society, but it was a coincidence that he became the president.
At the beginning of the establishment of the American Internet Association, in order to allow Microsoft, Netscape, AOL, etc. to join the association, it was impossible for Bill Gates to be the chairman, and Bill Gates could not tolerate Mark Anderson and Jim. Clark took the position of president, and as the founder of the Internet Association, Song Yang couldn't just sit on it, otherwise, wouldn't he let Netscape and Microsoft work for him?
In the end, Yahoo could only be cheaper. Last year, Yahoo was not that powerful. Yang Zhiyuan took the position of the boss of the Internet Society, purely to pick up the loopholes.
But this matter is clear to insiders, but not to the outside world. Coorg is obviously planning to use this information gap to spread the word to the outside world. The passage of Bill 230 is due to Yang Zhiyuan's credit, at least a large part of it!
"Everyone in the industry knows about this, and Bill 230 was indeed passed by Song Xing, Yahoo did this..."
Yang Zhiyuan frowned. Although he is now sought after by the masses and reported by many media, and the title of "Yahoo Internet Chief" is resounding all over the world, he still doesn't want to take credit.
Although Yang Zhiyuan is nominally the president of the Internet Society, the American Internet Society has always been managed by Irene, the secretary-general of the association. The 230 bill was also passed by Song Yang using his connections and using real money in the public relations in Washington. of.
"It's good for Yahoo, and it's good for Jerry's image!" The Wall Street director said with a bright light at this moment, he doesn't need to say anything from insiders, as long as he reports what Yang Zhiyuan has done to the outside world, it will be even better. Increase his influence, the greater the image and influence of Yang Zhiyuan, the more Yahoo's stock price will naturally soar!
Yang Zhiyuan frowned a little worried. He felt that Yahoo was becoming more and more rival to Song Yang, but Coog also had a kind of Yahoo directors and executives insisting on it, and Yang Zhiyuan finally failed to object.
Not only is Yahoo's share price skyrocketing, but the entire Internet concept stocks on Nasdaq are skyrocketing. The Japanese Benz Yahoo, which is preparing to list in Tokyo, has seen its valuation skyrocket!
