They're all just sad because deep down they all know their parents would have aborted them if it were legal at the time.

I agree, but repeal will kill any start up challengers as they will be prevented from moderating anything or they can be sued for any crazy comment a user posts.

We need to reform 230, not replace it. Maybe we have certain limits at which point it no longer applies, such as greater than 1 Million daily active users or 10 million total users. Or maybe we base it on revenue, traffic, etc.

But if we repeal 230, what is going to happen is Facebook, Twitter and Youtube are going to lock down even more, only allowing approved voices. They will also use their big reach to add binding arbitration clauses to their Terms of Service so even when you can sue them, you have to go through arbitration if you ever had an account on their services.

How so? Without 230 sites will have to either 1) allow all content, even the malware, spam, porn, gore etc to escape liability or 2) only allow people on their platforms that they trust will not post items they will get sued for.

Option 1 sounds nice except you can see how the sites go to shit quick without any moderation. Option 2 will silence everyone except for the safest of creators.

I'm not convinced that the dems want to keep Section 230 in place. If it is repealed Youtube will just become online TV with only approved voices. Facebook and Twitter have such great reach they can just litigate away most problems via forced binding arbitration clauses in their Terms of Service, basically if you're a member of those sites any suit would have to be arbitrated.

230 repeal will likely kill alt-tech, unless it adapts. Without 230 the choices are either 1) moderate and accept liability for user generated content or 2) don't moderate, allow everything and you can escape liability.

230 was put in place due to two court cases. In one, a site that didn't moderate user generated content was found to be not liable. In another, the site that did moderate was liable.

Sites like TD.WIN actually have the best chance of surviving as we already have a built in moderation method, upvotes. On hot you see the most vetted content, rising is pretty much safe and new is the wild west. This site could just stop moderation and let all of the spam live in new and rely on users to self-moderate the content and I think that would allow them to escape liability.

230 was supposed to be simple. It's called "the twenty six words that created the internet" so it's not a long bill.

All that is needed are a few simple amendments:

1. Any online interactive service provider which displays warnings, fact checks or other messaging intended to dissuade users from viewing a piece of content or from trusting a piece of content next to content generated by a user, or as a prerequisite from viewing content by a user shall, for the purposes of this bill be considered a publisher - This covers fact checks where they do not suspend content, but where they editorialize next to it

2. In the event that 15 or more users of an online service provider wish to form a class to allege that a service provider moderates their content contrary to the online service provider's terms of service, they may do so in court in a class action lawsuit. The losing party shall pay the winning party's fees and court costs. This clause shall supersede any binding arbitration requirements imposed by the service provider's terms of service - This covers cases where there is a clear bias against one particular group. The class action aspect requires that the plaintiffs can show a pattern of behavior and the losing party having to pay all court costs discourages frivolous lawsuits.

That is even scarier than the infertility!

If the vaccine does make you infertile and this was an intended side effect, who are they trying to make infertile? I hear some stories where states are prioritizing the vaccine for non-whites, which makes me wonder if it's a plan to de-populate minorities. But then, there's other stories such as the one where a college allows non-whites to opt-out of the vaccine, which makes me wonder if whites are the target of the sterilization. Or maybe they're just going after everyone?

Maybe it's a conspiracy theory that the vaccine intentionally makes you infertile, but remember that the vaccine makers are immune from liability.

They are like the firemen in Fahrenheit 451. Instead of putting out the fires, they burn down the knowledge they don't like.

Ate The Food?

Thanks for the list! Do you know if any of these have an app for Apple TV? I've been wanting to use something other than Youtube when killing time but it seems alt-tech platforms right now don't have apps for Apple TV so I can watch on the big screen.

The 1.4 Trillion dollar bill is the general government funding bill for the next year. If that bill didn't pass by I believe Friday, we would head into a government shutdown, where non-essential government entities close and those that are essential operate but don't pay their people. Shutdowns have happened before and there seems to be one every few years, but to avoid a shutdown and get a covid bill passed Congress decided to attach the Covid bill to the "omnibus" bill, which is a collection of bills that funds the government for the next year.

They were able to ram through so much extra garbage in the general government spending bill because the general government spending bill was tied to the Covid relief bill.

Seize their domain and put up a page that says "This claim about Presidential certification has been disputed".

He probably did it so he can pardon his good for nothing sons for their numerous crimes. He knew Trump would keep digging and at least Hunter would be in jail.

"Fuck the Children" - Joe Biden

Um, thank God for potheads?

Some people have a tell when they lie. Coughing is Joe's tell.

We should spread this on Twitter.

Question: Pretending that Biden legitimately won, if he died before inauguration day would Kamala be the President, or would that revert to Trump?

I'll take "People who will never be President" for 1000, Alex.

Sue Facebook too. Ordinarily Section 230 would protect them, however the case could be made by acting as a publisher by censoring Trump and other election related content they are a publisher AND this publisher distinction extends to Facebook as a whole, not just the content that Facebook was blocking / fact checking.
