After months of lurking due to a huge amount of threads to sift through, I finally decided to resume my activities.
This turn of events is rather ironic.

Can't be arsed to freak out about this, I'd be wasting my time.

Should this be the end of KF: glad this place existed. My only regret is not joining up sooner.
Godspeed, fellow autists.

I didn't vote for him, I'm not voting until there's finally a candidate that isn't a massive Autist, but we haven't had that luxury in decades.

Our choice is between an incompetent Boomer and Chaos Undivided. This is the shit that makes me unironically pray for the asteroid. God truly is merciful in His acts of destruction.

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.

No shit you should be mad when a fucking platform for public discourse and interaction for the masses prevents you from doing that AS A FUCKING PUBLIC OFFICIAL, especially when you are required to do so by law. It's not an issue of Democrat or Republican. It's an issue of a fucking company preventing you from doing your fucking job you absolute bellend. If it were some Democratic President saying the same thing on a conservative platform, I would be just as pissed. This shouldn't be grounds for repealing 230, but it ought to be grounds to rework it for the modern era, because it clearly didn't have social media and the like in mind when it was made 20+ years ago.

I'd also like to say we should wait a little while and watch with scrutiny what the actually goal behind the threats are before we go into full panic mode. However I can't begrudge people dooming about kiwifarms becoming kill if 230 gets repelled in a thread about 230 on kiwifarms. I can't think of a more relevant place for it. Nothing is lost by letting people freak out about it except maybe some dignity but I mean this is kiwifarms was that ever really an issue?

Hard to even blame Null for being mad on the internet about this either. Guy has put a lot of time and investment as well as being fucked over for this site and this could have a major impact on it and his life choices over the past few years. Until he does something crazy like prematurely shit can the site I don't see the problem especially if his ranting has gotten people who would be more apathetic to at least pay attention to the situation.

For people saying it's congress that needs to change CDA 230, they've been trying for years on a bipartisan basis. SESTA/FOSTA already makes unconstitutionally broad exceptions for "sex trafficking" including consensual sex work and even just personal ads. Craigslist nuked their personals section because they could be held liable for everything posted there.

As for the EARN IT act, this is literally a push for that by Trump in his normally theatrical way. Barr has wanted it for a while since he'd be the final arbiter of the new protections, the little council that Barr was "ordered" to set up has existed for months, and there's been heavy pushes from both sides to do something about 230.

Long-term there's no way intermediary liability survives SCOTUS. They were 9-0 in Manhattan News Network being allowed to kick out whoever they wanted because it was MNN's 1st amendment right to decide what to host. The only dissent was on whether MNN was a government actor, which the conservatives decided that they weren't. But it'll be 10 years where the only websites with limited user content are YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter because they're big enough to comply with the revised law.

This is all it is. He does this shit all of the time, and while it is annoying, I think acting like the apocalypse is upon us is unwarranted. As I tried to explain in a different thread, what Google, twitter, etc are doing wouldn't be tolerated under the rules for physical media because they are simultaneously acting like a publisher and a platform, legally.

At worst, Trump is making a play to revoke their 230 status, but I doubt it is anything more than his usual bluster.
