Regarding the apparent and imminent repeal of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and the future of this website.

[The Ultimate Ramotith]

Honestly, I hope that his real intentions is the repeal of that 'crucial spending bill' (the National Defense Authorization Act)... or getting the megacompanies to play by their own rules.
Donald Trump did this 'look over there!' trick already with other bills.

 

[Leonard Helplessness]

If this site actually bites it, I guess I'll go back to 4chan... although considering the current state of it, that might not be worth it.

Would 4chan survive a Section 230 repeal?

 

[Princess Strawberry]

Well fuck me I just made this account

 

[Fuck Y'all]

we'll gonna end in corporate hellscape anyway

By 2021, the age of trolls and funposters was at an end. The Internet was becoming a land of laws. Even the chans had mostly been tamed. A few funny sites still lived, but they were being hunted down and destroyed.

 

[ChikN10der]

No, what i am saying is nobody will think this is the end of anything unlike NN.

Its just a possible slight injection of AIDS. Niggas aint screaming about the sky falling.

"Nobody is saying" lol have you read anything else in the threa

 

[Postal_Dude]

Well guys, seems like this is it.

I haven't been on this site too long, but from what I've seen of it, it's pretty cool, and it is still damn funny to laugh at lolcows.

See you all on Reddit folks.

And by the way, while I still can:

Nigger faggot cumzone jew shiteater dumbfuck

I dont know how you people can still pretend this guy is playing 4d chess or some gay shit like that

Would 4chan survive a Section 230 repeal?

Probably. The current owner is an actual criminal and has active arrest warrants in Japan. Doubt he cares.

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

If/When the worst comes to pass, I hope you know that a lot of people have had a lot of fun here, and that we’ll miss it and you.

 

[Android raptor]

I've been here since the CWCiki Forum days and I intend to stay here to the very end. I can only hope that in the event of this site going down that an at least semi-tolerable replacement pops up.

 

[Dededon't]

Would 4chan survive a Section 230 repeal?

Dunno, but it seems to survive a lot of other stuff, plus its current owner doesn't live in the US.

 

[Loona]

I haven't even been here for very long, and now it's very likely that this place will shut down.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

Would 4chan survive a Section 230 repeal?

Doubtful, considering 8Chan tried, and failed, to come back. But you never know.

 

[Thumb Butler]

The reapeal of section 230 isn't the threat of the feds coming down on the farms, its crazy litigious assholes armed with paper

Court is fucking EXPENSIVE.

Indeed. The feds don't care if we call fat Amber fat, since she isn't a Clinton.

 

[Foghot]

Shit news I'f it ain't doomposting.

Thanks to @Null for keeping the site up and every faggot posting for putting a smile to my face every day for five years. It's been a pleasure lurking and (only recently) posting.

 

[Gustav Schuchardt]

I'll miss this place. Perversely enough for a forum dedicated to laughing at people, it's one of the few civilized places left on an increasingly nightmarish Internet.

Null did great work keep it going for as long as he did but perhaps it's for the best.

All these people like me who spent far too much time on here need to go out and talk to people in the real world. The Internet will be hostile territory for anyone who isn't a complete communist and hopefully, that will get them involved in things that can make a real-world difference.

The hug box is closed and the world is going to shit. Go out and do something to stop that.

 

[SIGSEGV]

Now where will I make libelous claims and direct harassment at people I dont like?

The lolcow farms are the problem, the free speech a&h, deep thoughts, etc are the parts of the site with some value, even though the shit lolcow moderators ruin that a bit.

There's nothing noble about doxing and harassing people. Boohoo I might be liable for the damage I purposely inflict!

Lol you don't even know what section 230 is or does if you think it has anything to do with bad words.

Kill yourself immediately.

You may think that I live overseas, and therefore do not have to worry about American law. This is false. I am not a fugitive from the law, I am not hiding from my government, and almost all of my real assets are in the United States. I am, more so than most other people, beholden to the rule of law in the United States. You cannot ask that I become a fugitive from the law, that I go to Russia or China and live my life there for the sake of this website. I would choose not to. Perhaps the next person to try this will, but this is where my line is. I am having my 28th birthday this month, and my priorities are changing to that of a man nearing his thirties. I can no longer be a renegade.

This particular part hits home for me. I started joining this site on the first day of the new year, and I have noticed more people like yourself now struggling with the idea that living in America’s version of the Internet is not the same as it used to be. It also hurts that we have to probably start thinking about moving to different places around the world that have no time or issue(s) to worry about nonsensical phrasing like “hate speech” or “the Internet being a free and fair place for all” being said by Silicon Valley.

@Null you are not the only one that thinks this, and if you shut down this site, I won’t be sad or mad. Still, it will be disappointing and concerning that we have now have to be suited towards the idea that people that don’t know how to use the Internet, and people having to fake the “family friendly” persona to portray a fake version of themselves online will now REPEAL 230 as an excuse to destroy the rest of us that remember when the Internet was just a unique place for all sorts of characters to use.

Hopefully something changes here, because if it’s not Trump, it could be Biden who will be pushed over to do something like this. We know his team has seen the “Dementia Joe” memes on here or 4chan.
