It seems there should be a difference between a site that has a clearly stated universally applied purpose and one that pretends to be neutral and then blocks stuff from people it doesn’t like Willy nilly. Nobody imagines they’re getting news here that is totally unbiased. People are made to believe that Twitter and fb are NBC etc unbiased
I think repealing 230 suits big tech just fine, because they have developed the tech to censor at the rate required by our level of connection. There is just too much content to keep on top of without the automation and AI that they have developed in large part with military industrial complex. Repeal 230 and now TD is responsible for posts calling for jack'n'berg to face a firing squad. Take away 230 and maybe .wins are gone too?
Big tech are (currently) private companies. But they have come to serve the purpose of what should be a publicly available platform. That in and of itself isnt really the problem though... the problem is at the same time as wielding all that power, collectively they've become ideologically hypnotized and basically mass hysteria rules the day. Actually... I guess the real problem is that big tech is being used by military industrial complex tech to instill the mass hysteria... fuck.
I agree with you dude, repealing 230 doesn't seem to do anything but cause harm from my perspective. Even amending 230 to exclude dishonest platforms like Twitter doesn't really cut it. I've always assumed the social giants are prepped to go into full audit mode. The moment 230 goes away Twitter/Facebook etc go full communism and purges the posting capabilities of regular people from the platforms, or atleast anyone Google analytics even hints has conservative leanings. Purging 230 would begin a new draconian Era in the info wars. We need direct targeted action against those that claim to be unbiased but create automated, enforced, biased, information bubbles.
I like thie financial idea a lot, and I agree some amount of cencorship is expected (death threats, fire in a theater etc). I still think therw is acencorship angle to pursue, maybe in the form of lawsuits claiming automated electioneering as fraudulent campaign contributions or something to that effect
It only gives them those protections when they act as a neutral platform. Which they don't and arguably never have.
Yeah but TDW is not neutral. We have a deport button.
Everyone does.
This is about editing content.

Hmm would maybe objectionable should be more clearly defined? That might be affective and alot less catastrophic than an outright liquidation of 230.
