I'm personally worried about sites like this one. Right now, they aren't liable for what we post, but after the removal of 230, they would have to start censoring us more.
This. Imagine being able to actually tell a SJW on Reddit that they're wrong, provide evidence, and not have 200 bots automatically downvote you because your post was flagged as wrongthink by Reddit's keyword algorithm.
Why would they? We aren't doing anything illegal. 230 was supposed to protect a site from liability if the users posted something illegal. Political discorce being censored is entirely the will of the website.
"and the censorship only gets worse" Those platforms are going away. Group text messages don't get censored. Everyone has a "friends list": It's called "contacts" and it's already on your phone. No one will waste time using Silicon Valley platforms under those circumstances. They'll send a group text, instead, because those aren't "fact checked" by Silicon Valley nanny gatekeepers.
It is a very powerful law. If reworded or enforced it is great.
essentially using TheDonald.win as an example:
If the donald.win is a platform then you or me can post what ever and thedonald.win won't be taken down as they are not liable for content. Essentially a platform is an area for free speech full stop.
if the donald.win is treated like a publisher then content on here is seen as their content and they are liable.
however when twitter is a platform that censors then the law isn't working at all so burn it with fire.
I think the problem is it protects sites like this as well. Big tech can afford a censorship department and will be fine. All the little guys will have another regulatory burden. This extra cost will only help the oligopolies stifle competition as it becomes harder to enter the game. It seems Gab and Parler is not for repeal. I haven't heard anything on Minds yet.
Explain yourself pede!

The reason we're here hidding in a corner of the internet like rats it's BECAUSE of Censorship!
I love the Donald but we shouldn't need it in the first place. We should be able to talk about our point of views EVERYWHERE like regular people.
Removing 230 doesn't mean that we will be guaranteed equal rights online. It means that websites can be sued for the content that people post on them
I wish I was a regular person, big tech made me into a rat!

Um... Removing Section 230 wouldn't do anything about that.
That makes sense. Gives domain registrars reason to Ban us
Pretty sure they can just do it already whenever they want with no consequences

Because they, as a publisher, will deem what content that want on their platform.
What are you not understanding
Well, they are already doing that, 230 is already functionally useless for preserving free speech.
Does it also mean Twitter would be obligated to ban the antics leaders?

They are brainwashed. They watched Tim Pool to many times. He always goes nutty when 230 gets brought up.

TD.W is not a publisher. It would not effect it in anyway,
