Madison Cawthorn says there is a fine line between stopping monopoly vs interfering with the free market. hopefully whatever what happens it is the right decision
We have our own platforms now, we are the news now fuck Twitter and fuck you tube!
And you think the crooked DA's across the country won't sue the operators of this site into oblivion? I wish.
I get it, but until everyone is truly anonymous on the deep web, and the deep web is truly accessible to everyone, no such luck. Even then, if anything gets popular it would get either hijacked or shut down by glow-in-the-darks.
With S230, we just get censored and suppressed. Without it, we basically have elites-only internet. Reform is the solution.
I thought the issue was with being a publisher or not? Maybe I don’t understand the 230 situation!
Of course Cocaine Bitch wants to support repeal of 230. Ending section 230 outright will expose website owners to lawsuits for user-posted content. All it will take is one troll to post something illegal and the site is liable.
Facebook, Google, and so on will be able to survive with their huge legal teams. Not only that, they will likely respond by introducing even more censorship for "legal protection".
Websites without large legal teams? Well, you tell me how fair the legal system has been lately.
At a very minimum Section 230 must be amended to eliminate the “otherwise objectionable” phrase from the list of items protected for removal, and introduce strong protections for political speech. See the linked article for a much better synopsis.

No, they will censor and be considered a publisher or not censor and be considered a platform. Platform will be protected. Publisher is liable. No more straddling the fence.
