This, messing with 230, is the nuke option and these retards don't even understand it. :/
No 230 = internet becomes cable 2.0. Little more than a semi-interactive content/news/official opinion delivery system. As so many big interest, ideological and $$$, truly dream.
They really don't. Trump wanted to use it to force Twitter to let him say whatever he wanted (which they did) and what would really happen is nobody would be able to post anything anywhere.
Eh. I wanna think the worst but if it IS ever passed it'll probably be shown to be unenforceable and it's not like we don't have any "underground" ways of posting online already.
Think of how many times KF has been brought down, then how Ublock Origin is "unsupported" in Chrome (works perfectly and always has), how many times YouTube has done 'things' to force us to watch ads, (the current situation is Youtube putting up ads that last up to 1 hour so we will block ads harder.) Many such cases.
How fast do all of these techniques get worked around? Sometimes the solution is ready before the new restriction is even launched. The companies update to work around our fixes and then *that* is fixed within hours.
The thing is Millennials are middle-aged now, GenX will never do anything (good) and we are taking over. Our generation has the strongest computer skills of any before or to come. GenZ's have been raised by iPads and only know how to post retarded shit on TikTok. They don't know what a file system is. We can build entire circuit boards from the ground up. We can fix anything, and when new tech comes out we learn how to operate and fix *that* immediately.
That said, I'm terrified this will get enacted, especially since the 4th Amendment has been dead and buried for over a decade, and this sets a horrible precedent against the First Amendment. Some can't come to terms with it, but privately owned websites can choose to censor speech in whatever way they want. However, the US government can't do that under the Constitution. Now the government is, and has been, trying to do exactly that. Trump says he's all for free speech but he clearly does not know what that is. Both parties in favor of this despite the fact that enacting it conflicts with all of their ideologies makes no sense at all. Dems pretend they want to censor "hate speech" but the left has been brainwashed into thinking it would only be the speech THEY disagree with that will be censored. Well what happens when it's actually THEIR speech that will get censored. That WILL happen. Might as well become China and throw in a clause that you can't criticize the US government while they're at it. If this continues, how hard is it going to be to repeal?
Remember how all the conservatives were in favor of the Patriot Act because it was only going to apply to "terrorists" IE brown-skinned, immigrant Muslims? Yeah that. Thanks idiots, we now have a department of government called Homeland Security, and they have all of your information too. Not to mention the definition of terrorist is now broad enough that literally everyone is a potential terrorist.
tl;dr US government has no idea what they're doing
