In reply to the discussion: Why would Democrats be so adamant about not repealing 230/setting up election commission? [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)cut their own throats. Repeal of Section 230 will dramatically hurt republicans given the behavior of that party for decades, that is a reality that people debating me appear to be completely missing.
People tout the warnings Twitter is putting on Trumps most recent posts, where have Twitter, Facebook and Google been since 2010 when Trump started his birther shit? My argument is that they have been absent in doing the task that Section 230 gave them the right to do, so why cling on to Section 230 and give up giving people $2,000. In my world, given how bad social media companies have been at enforcing Section 230, it is not worth saving it, tear it the hell down, let social media companies censure that then let republicans come crying back to the table to redress having all their shit deleted, at that point Democrats can drive toward a new legislation, ALONG with stiff penalties for social media companies if they sit on the asses and do nothing about vicious lies, like they did with Section 230
