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

Toss me all the garbage cans if I misread the situation, but isn't the whole point of Trump repealing section 230 is that the digital platforms wanted to have their cake and eat it too? There's being a platform, which should logically provide immunity because a platform is not responsible for the content therein; and being a publisher, which does the whole "Muh private company I can censor what I want"? Maybe Trump thinks repealing section 230 will force the digital media platforms (FB, Google, etc) to pick one and not pick both (even if that's not what ends up happening in actual practice) - you cannot BOTH censor AND claim immunity? Wouldn't this mean that if Null declared KF a platform (rather than a publisher), immunity still exists? I'm confused.

Hopefully drumpf would have the presence of mind to replace section 230 with clarifying legislation that would cement the whole "platform = immunity, publisher = muh private company and you can't be both" issue...

The problem, as I understand it, is that there's no extant way to enforce 230. You have to bring an actual civil suit against an offending entity, and then prove they shouldn't have 230's protections.

This poor man. His family could have afforded him to join any youth sports league he (or they) chose. He could have been a Scout, member of a scholastic band, joined choir. The point is that I feel bad for him that he never learned how to lose graciously or be a part of something where everyone must work together. Tennis and golf (rich folks sports) are both solitary.

If I remember, Trump is angry because Twitter trolls him hard. Goes Karen because muh freedom speech. Go to different social media like most alt-right people do.

It is my understanding that a presidential veto would require a re-vote in both chambers. However, what I don't know is whether this second vote again requires a two-third majority, or whether a simple majority would suffice. Perhaps someone can explain.

...if I remember high school the right way, then the two-third majority is correct.

Honestly, I am still optimistically hoping tha the repeal is not his true intentions. After all, he did mention Red China.

I WILL VETO!

Yeah, except you can, if you read the law.

Hopefully drumpf would have the presence of mind to replace section 230

He will have one ready for his second term which is about to start when aliens disclaimed by that former israeli general come and decree galactic law to impede Biden to take office.

Trump is the first lolcow that actually has the ability to destroy the Internet for laughing at him.

What a pissbaby he is.

So much for freedom of speech. Sickening.

It's reasons like this which is why I'm glad for January 21st.

I feel like Trump has the less common irritability/erratic behavior manifestation of dementia and Joe Bidden has the classic version. Don't. elect. anyone. over. 60 years old. next time.

I don't really care about left vs right politics but the fact that the highest levels of government are filled to the brim with ancient diapered codgers that need to be escorted to their chambers of power like some mummifying WWII veteran and gently coaxed into voting on/approving/adjudicating sweeping legislation by their 16yo pages before they start babbling about negroes or staring directly into the sun is frankly pretty embarrassing.

A MAGA guy I know sperged the hell out over there being millennials and Gen X people in some political positions and how unacceptable that is, and it's like, I don't know what he wants to have happen if we're apparently just supposed to have only boomers forever.

China this, China that. He sounds like a dumb parody US president from a Fallout game at this point.

Imagine if he cared this much actually doing his campaign promises, stopping the riots or helping the people who got financially ruined by the meme flu overreaction.

Also Orange Obama please, your inaction already ruined the Internet. What I wouldn't give for the pre 2016 everything, and now you actively want to make it worse. lol

Trump and Ethan Ralph follow the same arch: it's almost as if they are connected by a rope of destiny and are pulling each other downm

Before you shut down the site please post your nudes so I can judge whenether you're fat enough to not want to have sex with you, OK?

That's pure ad hominem faggotry and people whine about people from other countries talking about their politics and it's just a slur for the pure fun of it. We're replacing an elderly faggot with a cult of personality with another elderly faggot with a cult of personality. You don't need to be American to see this.

to be fair Biden doesn't have a cult of personality, he's not a Sanders and he's not trump. He's the milk you didnt drink while it was cold and now its lukewarm, he's not great, hes not new, he's not exciting, but at least he's not spoiled. Although he can turn turn you into a nigger if you don't vote for him.

He's also the "Wall-Street" president. Knowing the damage the anticommons have wrought, letting an advocate of the anticommons in would just be terrible.
Aaron Swartz feared corporate censorship for a reason...

sorry Null orange man really wants to nuke KF

I sometimes wonder what internet would like today if section 230 never became law in 1996.
