Twitter Hides POTUS Tweet

I have been talking about the sanctity of Section 230 for years. It's in our fucking "how is this site legal" help page that has existed for years. I have warned time and time again that if this fat motherfucker touches Section 230 that is all he will ever be remembered for.
Yes, and we have the biggest saber-rattler in the last fifty years in the White House. I agree with you that 230 is integral, but acting as though it's fait accompli when it's Trump of all people who's saying it is ignoring four previous years of bloviating. He's shot his mouth off about massive changes in foreign policy and nothing has come of it.

I don't disagree that even threatening to play with the law over a tantrum with social media elites is a wise thing to do but I also don't think it's tempting fate to see it as only that at this point.

My god dude Trump in your head. :(

If he touches Section 230 no one will remember him for that. It's a huge issue for you because this is your life and job but no one will give a shit about it.:(

Actually I'd say his foreign policy has been heads and shoulders better than most in recent and not so recent history.

I don't think 230 will get touched, but if it does you are so, so wrong. 230 is what allows social media as a whole, and the majority of the internet, to operate the way it does.

If it comes to that you'll need to make your own internet.
 
2nd. The first time I was pressured by every single member of my family before telling them off. So I'm telling you that this is worse than that.
Yeah, anyways, see you in a couple months after the internet cables get torn out and you build a satellite to send everyone Chris-Chan's latest sextape from.

It is the entire foundation of the Internet and has been for decades. You don't see him threatening to change the laws about fucking National Parks do ya? No, specifically 230. Why? The entire Internet, world wide, depends on it.
 
Listen, while @Null is indeed a lolcow, he is right on this.

Sec. 230 of the CDA is essential for the survival of this site and other sites that are designed to do more than discuss retards who shit their pants on a daily basis. I think he is at the brink of chimping out right now, but sometimes a chimpout is warranted. In this case, we have the president, whose voice does hold sway and can influence congress to act, attacking a law which protects this site from idiots being able to get their idiocy covered up. No one cares about the Kiwi Farms, and this is more about Trump acting like a petulant child, but honestly, you really shouldn't expect much more from him, and for congress, a body that really doesn't seem to value American civil liberties all that much, I could totally see them acting on this if Trump keeps billowing.

As an aside, I do have to admit that I find it rather hilarious that Trump is doing all this. He is switching accounts, trying to get around moderation. This is the kind of stuff you usually see lolcows do.

We have a thread on Adam Sandler, personally, I feel we should have a thread on Donald Trump as well. I would be interested in seeing some of the funny shit that would come from that.

Losing Sec. 230 would indeed end this website, it would mean @Null is liable for all the nasty shit you faggots post. No one could keep this place open for more than a few weeks under those circumstances.

That is why we are continuously losing liberty - because retards like you don't give a shit about it. Giving a shit would be too inconvenient. You might have to look away from your fucking iPhone and stop scrolling mindlessly through Twitter and Instagram for five fucking minutes to actually care that the government is getting too big and that these authoritarian laws affect more than just Twitter.
 
@Null I'm taking a look at the law now. I think what Trump is angry about is this part:
(2)Civil liability: No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of—
(A)any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected; or
(B)any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or others the technical means to restrict access to material described in paragraph (1).
Twitter may claim this part here as the reason they're allowed to censor Trump's tweet. I think this is what Trump is angry about. Let's cool our jets and see what happens.
If I'm wrong and Trump wants to burn the entire thing, well, it's been a honor being part of this community. You shall live in our memories as an internet legend.
