@evan_greer
there are lots of problems with Big Tech companies, but messing with Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act won't fix any of them. please actually educate yourself and tell your lawmakers not to be asshats

The idiot in the WH doesn't realize that this would impact his twittering too. Of course he's too

Well, a bag of rocks has more sense than Pissolini.

(9,897 posts)2. On the other hand...tell me what GOOD "Twitter" and its ilk provide that warrants protection?
Seriously...Twitter is, was and always shall be the mental equivalent of passing notes in school...short by design, vapid in content and utterly useless - in fact if it goes away entirely because the liability and responsibility make shouting "FIRE" in the public square economically unfeasible, then so be it...
I do not care if ALL social media were to be regulated out of existence. Freedom of speech is only freedom from government policies FORBIDDING or CRIMINALIZING dissent. There never was, nor should there ever be, a freedom from the responsibility for one's speech and actions.
