I'm a libertarian, and I'm not going to apologize for people that I had nothing to do with, especially for some virtue signaling pathological liar loser like you.

So go eat a bowl of your own Beth confirmed tiny dick.

Give up on your fear mongering, it’s pretty pathetic.

I don't fear monger. I'm making statements of fact. Just because you don't see it yet, doesn't mean anything. You'll get what you think you want. Just wait.

I no longer need to discuss anything on here or expand on my perspective. All I have to do is wait.

Kranar doesn't edit, manipulate or selectively censor this board so no.

Section 230 means a website's administrator is not liable for its content. Without it, obscenity and defamation laws alone are enough to establish Solkern's point.

The government can neither force a private website to be moderated nor force a private website to stop using a particular form of moderation (such as your "edit, manipulate, or selectively censor"). That is freedom - the government being unable to force a private entity to do or not do something.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean everyone has to listen to you. We have exactly as much grounds to demand Twitter let us use their service as we do to demand a TED Talk - none.

I take it, you aren’t aware that section 230 affords us a lot of freedoms to speak our minds. If we didn’t have it, we wouldn’t have places like this to shit on each other.

What some conservatives haven't figured out yet is that if you repeal Section 230, conservative sites like Parler or Gab would cease to exist.

Despite the conspiracy theories around Big Tech being out to get conservatives, they've actually been turning a blind eye to a lot of what has been going on with Parler and far right publications because it's good business. Google, Apple, and Amazon had been warning Parler for weeks that it was in violation of the ToS and needed to do more to moderate its content. Then an actual terrorist attack happened that was partially planned on Parler.

The reason why everyone dropped Parler is they didn't want to deal with the PR liability that comes from being associated with an app that ignores content that calls for violence and helps people plan for successful domestic terrorism. (Gee, go figure)

If social media platforms had legal liability on top of it for the conspiracy theories that flourish on the right, calls for violence, etc. They'd get a heck of a lot more serious about content moderation, and no one would ever touch anything like Parler ever again. The founders of Parler would never have created it because it could literally land them in jail. You wouldn't be able to post things that encourage people not to wear masks or to ignore COVID. You'd never have been able to run with "Stop the Steal".

So yeah. Conservatives need to be VERY careful about what they wish for.

Because they just might get it.

Meanwhile morons like you ignore the calls to murder the POTUS, attack Congressmen and so on as just peachy keen. Not to mention the calls for violence, rioting, looting, arson and murder all done on behest of BLM, Antifa and others for years now. You are serving up a heaping helping of hypocrisy and it stinks.

I don't seek repeal, I see applying it correctly and reclassifying those who edit, limit, modify and censor content like Facebook, Twitter, Google and others as publishers which is what they have become. Simply change their status, leave the law alone and let the market do it's job without the big tech using the protections as a shield to crush their competition with.

I also would like to see anti-trust law applied, hell, we broke up AT&T with less market share than FB, Twitter, Google and so on, US Steel, Standard Oil . . . all had less market share than the big tech giants but guess who is waltzing along because they have bought and paid for the Democrat party.
