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

lolcow.win maybe? Although people here probably hate the reddit format.

Damn, ED gone, and now this.....
Where I will get my lulz from then?

 

[Ghostface Killah]

Unfathomable.

 

[Demislob]

I just want to fish for christs sake.

"President-Elect Joe Biden"

lol....

Someone needs to learn how the electoral college works.

I'm not an American, and I'm not well versed in any kind of legal subject, therefore I don't exactly know the ramifications that 230 could entail. But I just want to ask, is there any chance of redoing something like this from another country? somewhere the US influence cannot shut us down, I know there are a million different sites, but I haven't been able to find something like this, the chans, reddit, and many other forums are plagued with people taking themselves way too seriously, at least here we can laugh at the lolcows instead of turning ourselves into the laughing stock. And other less regulated sites have many users with questionable intentions.

Maybe it's too optimistic (again I don't know much about the legal part of this), but if anyone has plans of redoing this somewhere else, somewhere more secure, I'd support it (as long as it is a sound plan of course).

Yet another freenet clone that will end up mainly just used for CP and other fucking shit like that, its creators' ideals buried under spending 90% of their bandwidth on absolute garbage.

Calling i2p a freenet clone is pretty wildly inaccurate. i2p is an anonymous network layer; freenet is a distributed and decentralized information storage and retrieval system.

I'm scared

Getting tired of winning yet?

 

[Jolly Copulation]

I wonder how this repeal or reform would impact internet porn.

Am I reading it wrong, or does this mean Trump can’t force the parliament to change section 230 now? Sorry, not from USA.

He'll still veto it, but it's unlikely anyone that voted for it the first time around is going to pull a 180 on the second vote. He'll also try to slip it in to anything else that he can (main reason I don't expect stimulus until Biden is sworn in), and the next administration seems to also want to curtail it to some extent, so the fight will still go on, but for now 230 seems safe.

So they have to vote on it a second time? Or is it that your Senate has to vote on it?

Veto-proof majorities (more than 2/3rds) of both the House and Senate have passed the NDAA. If Trump chooses to veto anyways and is rebuked by these same numbers, it will be the first veto override of his presidency. Getting overriden by congress during the lame duck would be perhaps the most humiliating way possible to end his presidency.

There's a lot of "ifs".
He could try to introduce new legislation and have it forced through before the 20th, but that'd be unlikely.
He could also veto and then congressmen who voted to pass the bill could decide not to override. This would restart negotiations on defense spending.

i.e. not over yet, but if I gave this a 70% chance of working when I wrote OP, I'd give it a 30% chance now. The GOP is peeling away from him more strongly than I expected.

I guess this sites lives for another year for now.

 

[Dante Alighieri]

Apparent and imminent lmao

I am way happier about this than I probably should be. I love this corner of the internet

 

[usernames can change now!]

This might be a stupid question, but if NDAAs only started being used in 1967, how was the military funded before then?

 

[Sten Of The Beresaad]

What a way to go out.

Inshallah the Farms will persist.
