Trump wants to get rid of 230
Biden wants to get rid of 230
Republicans want to get rid of 230
Democrats want to get rid of 230

Magically when it involves 2 grand for us, does the internet media scream and cry that you have to protect them. That protecting trolls and bots is important.

Fuck Twitter and Facebook.

They will live, they will just get better software.

Google will probably make a fortune off what ever automod bot they make after.

Section 230 is doomed, we should just take the money now.

Instead of losing 230 later, and getting nothing.

I'd gladly give up $2000 if it meant that the internet would not go further down the toilet than it already has.

Forums like this wouldn't be able to exist without 230.

Everything would be either ResetEra or 4chan.

The bolded is wrong. Removing 230 isn't popular among Democrats.

Charlie Warzel: Sure. Mr. Vice President, in October, your campaign sent a letter to Facebook regarding an ad that falsely claimed that you blackmailed Ukrainian officials to not investigate your son. Im curious, did that experience, dealing with Facebook and their power, did that change the way that you see the power of tech platforms right now?

No, Ive never been a fan of Facebook, as you probably know. Ive never been a big Zuckerberg fan. I think hes a real problem. I think

CW: Can you elaborate?
No, I can. He knows better. And you know, from my perspective, Ive been in the view that not only should we be worrying about the concentration of power, we should be worried about the lack of privacy and them being exempt, which youre not exempt. [The Times] cant write something you know to be false and be exempt from being sued. But he can. The idea that its a tech company is that Section 230 should be revoked, immediately should be revoked, number one. For Zuckerberg and other platforms.

CW: Thats a pretty foundational law of the modern internet.

Thats right. Exactly right. And it should be revoked. It should be revoked because it is not merely an internet company. It is propagating falsehoods they know to be false, and we should be setting standards not unlike the Europeans are doing relative to privacy. You guys still have editors. Im sitting with them. Not a joke. There is no editorial impact at all on Facebook. None. None whatsoever. Its irresponsible. Its totally irresponsible.

Everyone wants to either get rid of it (establishment) or reform it to stop political discrimination (centrists).

Getting rid of it would kill off Twitter, but unfortunately would also kill off every comments section in the process in the US. It's not the best solution.

From your own article:

Biden told The New York Times editorial board earlier this year, he thinks the whole provision should be eliminated.

But aside from Biden, most Democrats in Congress interested in Section 230 reform, believe amendments to the statute should be limited in scope to ensure free speech is protected. They've criticized Trump and the DOJ for their efforts.

The only Dems who agree with Trump on revoking 230 are lolBiden and his cronies. Other Democrats are simply looking into reforming the law so that platforms can be held liable for profiting off of false advertisements.

Let me all explain the future after 230 is gone ^_^

-google makes automod software with AI

-It automatically flags all potentially offensive and new memes that come out, that is then sent to a live team before a message post

-stuff that is safe enough to squeeze your ass cheeks hard enough too prevent sharding, post live

Bam new internet has way less trolling, or at least trolling becomes a much more nuanced art with less vulgarity ^_^

They all want to get rid of 230 for different reasons so they'll never actually get rid of it because they could never agree on what to replace it with.

There would be no posting or comment sections at all, it's cheaper and easier for companies to remove them entirely and it would end complaints about bad AI once and for all.

Things will just switch to live and forum stuff will be moderated harder.

Companies want money, less protections won't stop that no matter how much you want to believe your billionaire websites need you to protect them.

I recently found out Biden supported repealing 230, i can only blame myself for voting for him and not knowing basic things like that.

Who else would you have voted for? Trump? Any other choice than Biden would have risked Trump winning and that would be far worse.
