If they repeal Section 230 of the CDA I will close this site the same day and none of you will hear from me again.

You are more than welcome to come sleep on the couch in my apartment and play the Nintendo Switch all day.

How is their any profit with them? They are broke as shit and don’t buy anything. Is it that tech gets off on trannies sucking an aids dick that protects them?

Twitter is committed to losing money. It hasn't ever made a dime.

I fully support putting in some type of regulation that would allow for 230 protections to be revoked for these big companies that have been abusing the protections for years, way I see it they get what they deserve. For years now they have been getting their hands slapped and told to stop this shit, and they just kept doing it, so they dont deserve the 230 protections. However, I absolutely do not support repealing 230 completely, because there are countless websites and companies (this one included) that are rightfully protected by 230, have not abused that protection, and deserve to continue to receive that safe harbor status.

When Trump first announced his executive order I was beyond thrilled, but then he tweeted about repealing it and it put me more in the cautiously optimistic level. I definitely plan on following this closely, and I would encourage any Americans who frequent this site and others like it to take an active interest in this as well. Like @Null has said, read the law, study it, and make sure to hold feet to the fire to make sure Trump or anyone else for that matter does not shit this up. And yes I will take my puzzle pieces in stride for this take.

Guys....
The President does not have the power to repeal laws. That power rests in the legislative branch, and to other extents in the judicial branch.

Hell EO's themselves can be invalidated by the Judicial branch in their entirety if they propose a legal challenge. Not to mention the legislative branch can pass legislation that supercede EOs.
This particular EO is a fluff piece that only does 2 things; it effectively cancels the federal government sending money in anyway to "social media" companies, and it establishes that if the Federal government were to have a Social Media platform (technically it does have 1 or 2 but it's not available to the public) that platform would be moderated in a way that does not conflict with the Comm Decensy Act... which guess what, the CDA wouldn't apply anyway because it's the Fed Gov't and bound by the constitution.

It's a fluff piece, a way for Trump to make a "statement" that he is big mad on the internet.

We living in a different era. Sadly it might get a pass. :/

Null, you could fucking staple it to their heads and they still wont get it. Save your breath.

Oh, get off it.

It's not that we don't get it, it's that there's far too much in the way of evidence, between the history of the conception of the law (it was bipartisan all the way down) and Trump's strategies as showcased throughout his first term even up to recently (he makes a grand statement, then scales down to something more reasonable probably after surveying the reactions) that this is a giant bluff.

Hell, the repealing has to be done by Congress. You know-- the people who passed the very act with bipartisan support? And what do you think the ramifications would be for Trump? There would be no platform publisher where he'd be safe in a society where half the people think he's Hitler incarnate and every word he says/every action he does denigrates and cripples "the minorities". No matter where he'd go, by the logic within the fears/fearmongering displayed, he could always be deplatformed when someone decides to threaten a lawsuit and the service decides it would be logistically easier to give him the hip-check than it would be to attempt to defend him in court. It would actually be easier to use the law as it stands evaluate Twitter et al to determine that they aren't acting in a capacity such that they merit the protections of a platform... which, last I checked, is exactly what they're doing.

Now, you tell me that between the current priorities of Congress, the bipartisan history of the act, our legislative process that this act is subject to, Trump's strategic history, the text of the executive order itself, and the deleterious effects of repealing the act on specifically Trump, that "repeal Section 230" is substantially more than a snappy rally cry.

You heard about the autopsy of George Floyd, right? Died of a heart attack, wasn't murdered.

That heart attack was probably induced by the cop's knee on his neck.

[MeltyTW]

who cares

twitter is shit anyway

the issue is what trump whats to do to twitter would require waving protections from other sites, of which kiwifarms would not survive one second without even under a republican president. i see it more as equivalent exchange

We will see.

Minneapolis was releasing prisoners and issuing tickets. Really curious why the officer chose to take this one person into custody. Who just happened to have a heart attack immediately afterwards.

All I know is no one broke his neck and the city is burning.

There's been a large influx of antifa types.

Some of them are feeders.

Like you, I'm sure that Empress Hillary would have secured the future of a clean, good, and open internet for generations to come.

With all the money that ... all tech companies would throw at congress, on top of the politicians they already own, not a snowball's chance in hell.
This is the presidential version of calling your momma a faggot on xboxlive.

If you're crying about this and are/were a trump supporter I suggest you wait and see. I remember the same level of crying about Syria air strikes and other shit. Wait until there is actual legislation on the table before you lose your mind.

 

[Boobie Bomb]

Well, we can always build a new version of KiwiFarms minus the doxxing but still talk about lolcows online. We just gotta name it. Inception's Island!

Anyways, im more reacting to nulls panic than anything.

Never supported the retard, i'd have voted for the guac before him to be honest, and even then im one of those faggot berniebros

Give it two weeks, everyone will be praising him again.

And then wait another two weeks, and then they'll probably bitching at him again.

Basically what I'm saying is that politics is shit.

We'll see about that. Things change after Hilary lost to Trump. Not everyone is friendly to social media. Wait a few days or weeks and we'll see things out in front of us.

Twitter has been profitable for 2 years in a row and has been operationally profitable for a while now... they have huge capital expenditures, that doesn´t mean the business isn´t sustainable

 

[CheezzyMach]

Lol why don't you quit being an overly negative pile of trash and realise the issue is that you asked for something you didn't realise you didn't fucking want.

The POTUS isn't to blame, you are all to blame, The left and the right are all to blame for this bullshit. Like those who are calling for more riots because niggers keep getting fucking killed because they are apes.

SJW shit's already in decline, if you think potentially nuking free speech on the internet is a "solution" to it and not something that will blow up in Conservatives' faces the very instant a Democrat gains power you are a fucking moron.

Hell if a Democrat proposed this you'd be reeing about Hate Speech laws.

Do I think it will happen though? No I think this is just Trump making an ass of himself again and as other posters have said the EO is largely toothless.

But I'm not pleased repealing 230 in it's entirety is starting to become a mainstream Right Wing talking point because Trump is a fucking baby throwing a tantrum because Twitter called him an idiot.
