Section 230 just need to be enforced/applied. Same with election interference laws.
Repealing section 230 will make it harder for competing platforms to launch. Our goal should be to kill Facebook, Twitter, and Google - not to fix them.
Agreed. Although, honestly, I would prefer we supported the creation of new platforms. I'm working on one right now, because even if you split up the major platforms, they'll all probably behave the same.
At the moment, no, it's me and a friend both Devs. I'm VERY excited about this project because it's a genuine innovation, and not something like Parler or Ruqqus which are clones. We're basically building it from the ground up.
It seems to simple to me (obviously because I'm not a lawyer), but the DoJ needs to inform FB and Twitter that they are in short order to be held fully legally responsible for the content on their sites (including the heaps of CP and terrorist coordination that happen everyday), unless they demonstrate to the satisfaction of the FCC under the auspices of the appropriate Senate committee that they are no longer choosing what types of political content they are publishing. Drag it out and make them squeal. Refuse to give them the green light to continue operations at all until they demonstrate that all their efforts internally are focused exclusively on combating illegal content, and no efforts are being made to selectively boost or suppress content. Allow the FCC to log complaints to the contrary and hold their feet to the fire in a quarterly review of their 230 protection.

You can also break them up, Facebook owning Instagram is stupid.

Do you need any developer pedes?

Instead of repealing section 230, we need an Internet Bill of Rights.
