Making my list of places to move to from NY/NJ... New Hampshire looked good but now they seem cucked. I’m thinking Utah and Texas. Reasonable tech industry growth and lots to see/do. Maybe the Carolinas
I’m beyond furious at SCOTUS
I may or may not have paid attention in my middle school US history class and I'm reading a lot of conflicting information here
God Bless the Great State of Texas, by the way
Let’s brainstorm some names while we’re at it.
GOP 🤝 DNC
Being part of the The UniParty
I wrote this as a comment in another thread, but it's important enough to warrant its own post.
Section 230 says Twitter isn't responsible for what users post - which is true. They shouldn't be. However Section 230 also treats the company like a platform, which by definition is supposed to allow all viewpoints without suppression. Twitter, Facebook, etc. all suppress viewpoints that are right of center. They, despite being protected by 230 and allowed to operate as platforms, act like publishers. The "(i) Multiple sources say this claim is false" tags on Trump tweets and other posts are direct proof that the platforms are acting like publishers, regulating the words coming from the President. Currently, Big Tech is acting in violation of Section 230.
What we ultimately need is enforcement of Section 230, not the repealing of it
If Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit are going to act like publishers, thats perfectly fine. They will be removed from protection under 230 and regulated like any other publisher. They would also have to disclose the fact that they are politically biased and they don't like opinions that are right of Bernie Sanders - make their users well aware of their political intentions. If 230 was enforced, then we'd be able to fight Big Tech in court over their censorship - there's an avalanche of evidence that proves their bias, and we could very easily remove their platform protections while still keeping the rule in tact.
So why is Section 230 important?
Because of sites like TheDonald.win. As a platform, TDWin's owners are not legally responsible for the content that gets posted here. Same thing with sites like Parler, or Gab. They're platforms, and Section 230 vindicates them in a legal challenge over posted content. Without Section 230, TDWin wouldn't exist. In a world where Section 230 is repealed, if some larper glowie or sleuthing commie wants to take us out, it could very easily be done by making a post with calls to violence against political enemies or the government at large, links to darkweb sites for drug and weapons trafficking, or things that are far worse. They'd then take this self-post and say "look at what TDWin allows!" and the feds would shut this place down faster than Biden can call a lid on his campaign.
It seems like Trump is falling for the honeypot. Big Tech wants Section 230 repealed, because without the platform definition, they're free to regulate our voices as they see fit, and will use my aforementioned strategy to undermine alternative social platforms and get them shut down. Ending Section 230 is a honeypot. It plays right into their hands. We can't let it happen. Section 230 needs enforcement not repealling
There’s a thousand conflicting narratives all over the place, and even conflicting information here. I’ve read here and elsewhere that the case was dismissed in the PA SC because it was brought too late (??), other sources say it had no legal standing although I don’t know why. I’ve read that the Republicans had the chance to stop some precedent from happening and cucked out at the last minute, allowing PA to do the whole VBM. Granted Reddit is New Cuck City and r/conservative is filled with nevertrumpers anyway, but they raised a good question - allegedly the Trump Legal Team hasn’t been fighting any fraud in PA which in that case, how do we expect SCOTUS to rule any differently than the lower courts?
Basically there’s a ton of overlapping and often conflicting stories about the PA lawsuits, and what ones the Trump campaign is behind. If some well versed legal pedes could set the story straight I think it could help clear the air
