They will be dropping out of democracy. They will literally murder you in the next civil war. Avoid that fat relative in the MAGA hat at Christmas dinner. He's probably going to whip out a gun and just start shooting! Yes, he is absolutely that much of a faggot!
I don't think they are as divided on it as it seems. Both parties want it and Big Tech is rich and connected enough that it doesn't affect them. So maybe not now, but it seems inevitable. Also both parties' constituencies believe "information censorship" by Big Tech to be a huge problem. So if the argument can put forward that repealing 230 is anti-big tech, while it really isn't, there will be movement.
I don't think we'll see a 230 repeal either, especially after Biden said he wanted to make Zuckerberg liable for the content on his site. If Facebook has any political power at all, they will lobby against the bill.
Its kind of funny how some want 230 repealed since in practice what it means is that it would make monitoring extremists online harder.Since they would obviously no longer share views on forums for all to see.Right now an FBI agent can simply go online to known forums and see who seems more unhinged 'ok this guy seems a bit more out there maybe we should monitor him see if he's just a troll or the real deal'.You repeal it and most genuinely unhinged individuals will choose far less public means of radicalisation.
That's not what repealing 230 would do at all. It would make websites liable for the content posted by their users. It would likely lead to stricter censorship on websites to limit liability as much as possible, and "free speech" websites like Parler and Kiwi Farms would likely be forced into bankruptcy from legal fees.
Probably not many.But odds are someone in tech support has the boring job of seeing who said what and whether there's any indication of risk.In fact all forums but especially the ones with political discussions must have at least one full time guy that goes through every day just to see who said what.It would be a huge oversight if there isn't one guy.Imagine though being assigned to monitor non-political forums just in case going online to the knitting forums and trying to discern possible extremists from that group.For all this talk about how extremist use the internet to recruit and stuff the truth is 95% of extremists are known quantities since they tend to post something on some forum on some site.Its a lot easier today to monitor them than in the past and discern any change in tone or attitude.There's very few extremists who come out of nowhere with no prior indication it happens true but 95% have a history of some sort.
Correct. Biden wants it repealed so he can sue sites like Facebook for stories about Hunter Biden and other associates of his which he considers defamatory.
This would be totally fine for sites like Facebook, they'd just yeet your weird grampa for his bizarre opinions. It would completely obliterate sites like this, though.
It's one of the many reasons I didn't vote for Biden but I'm not sure i can blame anyone who doesn't like Trump for voting for Joe, especially if you live in a swing state
I might be wrong but I don't see it repealed anytime soon despite some opposition to it.Primarily because it benefits both parties.With it repealed it would be far easier for whoever is in charge to simply eliminate the opposition from the online world based on some flimsy 'accusations'.And there is one other detail.With companies forced to regulate strictly what is said public unease about 'Big Brother' would inevitably shift from Zuckerberg to the state itself.Once you force the businessmen to regulate themselves any future problems can no longer be blamed on Zuckie.The public at this point has some fears of the state being a bit too invasive but someone like Zuckerberg gets far more press coverage.Once Zuckerberg goes quiet any future issues and there will be issues will inevitably be blamed on the state itself.As a politician I wouldn't want it repealed since any fuck-ups which will surely be many will now be blamed on the system as a whole not forum x in particular.Its the equivalent of Nicholas the 2nd taking direct command of the russian army in 1915.And we all know how he ended up.Then again we're mainly talking about guys in their 70's who probably have trouble getting things like 'the internet' they probably finally got Elvis.
"You see, Trump was only pretending to be retarded here. Him falsely stating that the sky is purple only brings attention to the corrupt liberal elite running the National Weather Service..."
Eh, even if nothing happens I'll still mock the retarded Trumpers cheerleading it because their dumbasses think it'll own the SJWs and not just turn the internet into 80s daytime television.
I hope whichever agent is monitoring me knows that I appreciate the fact he takes time out of his day to show how much he cares. I will bake him Christmas cookies as a thanks.
Big business types would be leftwing but only if they were given full control of the state.Ask any billionaire if he would be ok with comnunism and hed say no.Rephrase the question with 'oh by the way youd be Stalin' and they'd perfectly willing to accept it.Basically if someone were to propose turning the US into a modern day East India Company corporate types would approve.Thats the kind of socialism they would be fine with.
It will be hilarious when they suddenly admit it's actually a bad idea once Biden starts proposing it.
yeah tbh I wonder how many people celebrating the possible repeal will lose their shit once parler and the other right wing hugboxes go down because they've gotten 1500 lawsuits over the course of a month
Especially since it recently came out that they don't have a system for finding kiddie porn.
