It´s not meant in the sense "LOL I can post anything I want"; it means no one would ever host your shitpost without the protection.

I dunno, carelessly destroying the lives of thousands of people and irreparably destroying the internet just to get at s faggot who pissed you off on Twitter is pretty based.
Section 230 make lawsuits against internet men hard.
There’s a USA law that says the owners of sites can’t be sued for the things users post on their site. Trump was trying to change that law, but it looks like he got bent over. Only for now though, because it’s possible Biden also supports that law change.
Because of 230, you can """""publish""""" (allow users to) post comments, messages, etc. and be absolved of liability because it's a public forum. I mean forum in the traditional sense, not the modern one. As long as you're receptive to legal takedown requests you're basically bulletproof because you're not really a publisher in the traditional sense. The loophole is that owners of the platform are allowed to police their platform however they want, which in big tech means censoring righties, so Trump's brilliant solution is to nuke the 1st amendment to own the libs. When a platform is liable for everything its users say surely the righties will be able to say whatever they want and not also be caught in the devastation for hard -R sigposting.
Given the pornhub situation with Visa and Mastercard and the noises coming out of the senate let's not get too hasty...but for the moment things look good from a 230 perspective.
"sound and fury, made by an idiot, signifying nothing."
He'll probably just shit himself and do nothing like usual.
Snap, we see the legal thing the same way, but I see the outcome differently in the long term. The Woke will start to get banned for their slurs. Maybe the mainstream net will right itself?
Yeah but then he might accidentally let it slip out around a black person in real life and then get his autistic ass beat
Not quite the same thing though Pornhub's getting reamed cause they had CP on their site and understandably big banks want nothing to do with that shit.
That I got but what the hell is the veto shit?
Means that they'll just vote on it again and pass it through. If I'm remembering my civics shit correctly.
He'd have a head start to get away since uttering the word in front of a black person makes their joints lock up and fall over just like those fainting goats. No other word holds such power over others. He should definitely try it.
IDK if you're non-American or this is more evidence of the consequences of us abandoning civics education in public schooling, but the president has to sign any bill Congress comes up with before it's actually law. When he refuses to, it's called a veto, and prevents said law from taking effect. If Congress re-approves the law with a 2/3rds majority instead of just a raw majority, they can override his veto attempt.
