Based on how things normally go in congress, Big Tech will write a new version of section 230 that will help them and screw all the smaller sites like us.
If you think that the big sites will sink without 230 at this point you're delusional. All that happens is every small website hosting user generated content, like this one or bitchute or video.maga.host or anything else gets brigaded by the cancel commies with CP or pirated movies and the next day every site but twitter and facebook is gone.
Got it. Drumpfs stupid and youre not. Did you also screech over Net Neutrality getting nuked or did you understand Trumps strategic reasons for doing it?
If for example, a user on this site wrote something that could be considered slander, a death threat, etc, the site owners could be sued for allowing slander to exist here. The site would be targeted by the left, and brought down quickly.
Also there is rampant misinformation about what 230 would lead to. It is quite literally the death of social media - no platforms could exist if they were liable for all content. It would be China levels of censorship to avoid lawsuits.
I understand he's making the big ask, but the risk is that Republicans who can't think for themselves will misunderstand his strategy and actually try to repeal 230.
The problem there is the infringement on the private property of these corporations. Whether they are left-biased or right-biased, any platform should have the right to moderate to their discretion.
I'm not saying focused political censorship is good by any means, but freedom of control of your platform is just as important as freedom of speech. Imagine the government was able to dictate to .win on what was or wasn't allowed here?
We lose our protection......
That is true but remember we know how to control our emotions and have generally a better sense of decency and fairness over the left.
Doesn’t the government just need to enforce the laws on the books vs destroy 230? Problem is the government is full of communist I guess.
Yes
No. There are loopholes in 230 that has allowed these platforms get away with what they've been doing.

Fuck no it isn't.

Honest question. How so?
If for example, a user on this site wrote something that could be considered slander, a death threat, etc, the site owners could be sued for allowing slander to exist here. The site would be targeted by the left, and brought down quickly.

Lol. Someone who either hasn't read the Art of the Deal or isn't applying what you read to what Trump is doing now. Hence your unnecessary concerns.

Maybe 230 should be removed for social media that engages in censorship. Leave it alone fir those that don’t.

All companies operating on the internet in America would.
Which means it would force new legislation which could account for these new tech monopolies, not a bill written in '96 for a bulletin board.
No we wouldn't. We admit our bias.
