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

Knowing Trump, it will probably be a reform. He has a track record of making extreme claims to push them into motion and then delivering more moderate results. That's my two cents, at least. If I end up being wrong then please clown on me in the last moments before the apocalypse.

I find it bitterly amusing that the Internet, which arguably contributed a large part of the success of his election, to be the very thing will be killing with this. All the memes and Pepe frogs - all the edgy kids yelling “based” and trying to get trump into office for the “meme” being subjected to the future of politically correct Internet under giant tech companies by trumps hand. So, did ya own the libs? Was it worth it? lol
If he’s going down, we’re coming down with him I guess. What a bitter orange manbaby. Fuck Biden too, why can’t boomers let the new generation have anything
 
It was a pleasure lurking and being racist (and not at all anti-semitic, I love israel) Internet bullies with you all.
I will take this as my opportunity to say NIGGER for the first and last time on this site.

FUCK NIGGERS
FUCK KIKES

See you all in Heaven, Kings.
For all you know? Might be some blacks and jews in here. Why do you want to make enemies?
 
Man the potential outcomes here are great. If Biden takes over they'll replace 230 with a bill that is built specifically to fuck over websites that have wrong think, and if Trump somehow keeps it in then we'll end up with a complete wildcard as to whether he nukes 230 entirely or replaces it with something that only might be good. Glorious odds there. That being said the coast looks clear for now, but I don't know if I really trust newsweek.
 
Uh, guys you did note that Trump is going to veto anything that doesn't include this right? So unless you believe that congress will override his veto, I'm just saying that your celebration might be a bit premature.

Based on the actions of both parties' leaders, I think they're well aware of that and more than capable of overriding him. Odds are they'd already worked their shit out and it was going to pass overwhelmingly anyway, so it was probably an empty threat on Trump's part. I suppose we'll see soon enough.

6 different things are going to happen

0: The bill goes to Trump who vetos it and the website lives to see another day

1: The Bill gets vetoed and heads back to Congress who add in a clause that repeals Section 230 to appease Trump and the site goes down. Bad ending.

2: The Bill goes back to Congress and Section 230 is amended in a way that Kiwi Farms can survive. OK ending.

3: Trump vetos the Bill and Congress refuses to amend it which results in gridlock or a government shutdown. Neutral ending.

4: Trump vetos the Bill but Congress overrides his veto with a 2/3rds majority vote in both houses. Decent ending.

5: Trump signs Bill because he was bluffing or his advisors told him it was an unpopular move to repeal Section 230. Best ending.

The main takeaway from the Bill going to Congress without the 230 repeal is that the site will survive a little longer instead of getting shutdown in the next few days.
 
I don't care if section 230 gets repealed. The internet itself has been in a state of decline for at least the last three or four years now. In 2016 Onogma sold out ICANN to an international body (in this case, the UN), IB culture took a nosedive, and in 2017 you had Unite the Right, which set the precedent that registrars/registers can refuse to host a website if they politically disagree with it's content. From then onwards, the whole internet has been increasingly becoming shit, and by 2019/20 the internet is fucking dead. Just give it up, I've been dependent on the internet for the last 14 years. Starting in '06 I started using YouTube. At first it seemed promising, but over time I became a slave to the machine. Kind of like a cargo cult. The only thing I mainly use it for now anyways is just listening to music on JewTube since I've been banned from everywhere else. The internet community sucks balls, I prefer outside now. I'm not nearly as dependent on the internet now as I was 14 years ago, I guess just because of the human experience so-to-speak.
 
2: The Bill goes back to Congress and Section 230 is amended in a way that Kiwi Farms can survive. OK ending.
"OK ending"? I think it would be pretty great if 230 was rewritten to continue providing protections to websites from their user's actions while also preventing websites made for general discussion from censoring or interfering with users based on their political views.

Then again it could be rewritten into several pages of ascii art of wombat shit cubes or something, so maybe not.
