To the pedes here saying "Refine 230, don't remove it":
You are acting exactly like RINOs like Dan Crenshaw etc. "Don't pull out the troops".
You have to understand if you go for "Refine 230" approach, it will NEVER happen. You will wait for years and it will never happen.
It is the same thing as:
"Don't remove Obamacare, fix it"
"Don't pull out of NAFTA, fix it."
"Don't pull out of Iran deal, fix it."
"Don't pull out of Paris Climate accord, fix it."
Pulling the plug forces them to act or into the negotiating table. Sure, Big Tech can gain an advantage, but I think that is exagerrated. Lawsuits will go after big companies with money, not small tech companies.
Yes, I am sure Twitter/Facebook would certainly not fund lawsuits against their competitors second they can (which means second after their plants spam the competition with child porn)
i am no means a legal expert, but I think you guys are greatly exagerating a doomsday over removal of section 230.
Obviously, child porn is illegal and would be taken down by the website owner, even without section 230. How do you think other countries function? Seriously, some people here think there is no world outside the US.
Removing section 230 will have an impact, one of which is there will be increased overall censorship as websites will be forced to take down content to avoid getting sued, but I think Trump is betting that it will be a bigger headache for Big Tech rather than small companies.
The problem is Silicon Valley has enough money and a shared ideology that they can whether a storm like this.
However the other problem is that Ajit Pai and Congress are made up of cowards who refuse to enforce the law as it is written, which would give us the effect Trump needs.
Let me put it this way, once 230 is repealed then thedonald dot win will disappear the moment some /pol/ack starts ranting about kykes controlling America.
