In the BFD Zone: Congress's ignorance about 230, and why you can't trust Congress or Barr

[ancianita]

2. I'm not. Not because I know all the arguments, but because I'd rather err on the side of

the good that 230 does for us end users than the good it would do for Trump and Barr to end it.

The strength of Silicon monopolies keeps getting posed as a threat to us, and yet the other big player -- this right wing scofflaw government -- wants to end even the good that 230 does.

The real problem is who gets to run the internet -- private Silicon Valley owners or the U.S. DOJ.

Right now, I'm going with Silicon Valley's best efforts and not with Barr's dark goals.

End a nation's free communications, with all its flaws, and with all the Valley heads are trying to do to support their nation, even if it seems to us like not enough, you definitely end up with nationwide governmental propaganda control.

Warren's seemingly fair points about breaking up the Big Five miss the point about 230 in our political arena.
