the first time when people expected its okay,

It was 500 people, the "Largest gathering of alt-right in America"

2018-09-20 09:26:20 UTC

FBI last statistics of the far right White Supremist and KKK were around 10K.

2018-09-20 09:26:20 UTC

and this year it was 5

2018-09-20 09:26:29 UTC

10K out of 300 million citizens.

2018-09-20 09:26:32 UTC

350 million

2018-09-20 09:26:39 UTC

350mill^

2018-09-20 09:27:07 UTC

The last Unite The Right rally only had 12 participants and they left after 30 minutes.

2018-09-20 09:27:12 UTC

exactly

2018-09-20 09:27:17 UTC

Why?

2018-09-20 09:27:26 UTC

Everyone there was either far left or liberals. They then turned against the cops.

2018-09-20 09:27:35 UTC

that should tell you about A, the commitment of the alt-right to their own beliefs

And about the amount of impact they had

2018-09-20 09:27:46 UTC

They barely have a impact.

2018-09-20 09:27:59 UTC

exactly

2018-09-20 09:28:08 UTC

But what I worry about... with the anti-white agenda being pushed by the media is attempt to push more whites towards the far right.

2018-09-20 09:28:16 UTC

the Alt-right is a boogieman of the Media to scare people into staying fanaticall Left, cuz "Ohnoz, the nazis coming to get me"

2018-09-20 09:28:23 UTC

Aka reason I am saying they are bolstering the right.

2018-09-20 09:28:26 UTC

Far right^

2018-09-20 09:28:32 UTC

It is so weird how Timcast has made me way more paranoid than any hyperpartisan propaganda media outlet

2018-09-20 09:28:37 UTC

It wont push them as much "far right"

But it will push people away from the left

2018-09-20 09:28:52 UTC

Its the beanie, it tends to make you feel uneasy when you're exposed for a while

2018-09-20 09:28:59 UTC

They are attempting to push people to the far right.

2018-09-20 09:29:04 UTC

Aka they are trying to bolster the far right.

2018-09-20 09:29:09 UTC

Because without the far right, they have no cause.

2018-09-20 09:29:12 UTC

They feed off each other.

2018-09-20 09:29:19 UTC

yes

2018-09-20 09:29:37 UTC

Any of y'all read Robert Greene?

2018-09-20 09:29:48 UTC

but they forget that 90% of the people, really don't want to be violent, they just wanna be left alone and have their own happy lives

Go out on dates, have sex, drinking with buddies, play games

2018-09-20 09:30:02 UTC

Anytime a far right individual appears at a event, they use that as justification for lumping everyone there as a far right.

2018-09-20 09:30:12 UTC

Making it look much worse than it actually is.

2018-09-20 09:30:34 UTC

look at how they treat Tim

Even if you say "I'm not alt-right, i'm a leftist" you're branded as a white supremacist

2018-09-20 09:30:42 UTC

I know.

2018-09-20 09:30:49 UTC

Reason I am peeved.

2018-09-20 09:30:53 UTC

then again, the alt-right is socialists too <:TimThink:482277772497125378>

2018-09-20 09:31:05 UTC

so alt-right IS left

meaning that the left just hates the left, cuz left is wrong

2018-09-20 09:31:10 UTC

Tim is a amazing guy, he tries hard to be unbiased and respectful to both moderate right and left.

2018-09-20 09:31:20 UTC

He wants everyone to get along which is a noble thing.

2018-09-20 09:31:29 UTC

He wants people to have conversations, to debate, to return to civility.

2018-09-20 09:31:46 UTC

But they want to paint him as a bad guy, corrupting his message and making him look like a villain.

2018-09-20 09:32:09 UTC

That last article by Becca Lewis really set me of.

2018-09-20 09:32:20 UTC

same is with Sargon, Jordan Peterson, Styx and most of these "right-leaning" pundits

2018-09-20 09:32:30 UTC

People who think an ethnostate will bring cohesion seem to forget that half these retard socjus people are also white and will have to live with them... ๐Ÿค”

2018-09-20 09:32:42 UTC

No one cares to hear nonsensational stuff

2018-09-20 09:32:55 UTC

That's the other thing

2018-09-20 09:33:03 UTC

I am so sick of the left leaning mainstream media.

2018-09-20 09:33:06 UTC

Why are whites trying to kill themselves? lol

2018-09-20 09:33:10 UTC

The newspapers and the tv channels.

2018-09-20 09:33:14 UTC

they also forget that the west once WAS a white-ethnostate

What happened? ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-09-20 09:33:50 UTC

minorities made things worse?

2018-09-20 09:34:03 UTC

Haha dab

2018-09-20 09:34:20 UTC

but it was an ethnostate, how did minorities come in? ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-09-20 09:34:31 UTC

they let them in because people didn't think about it at the time

2018-09-20 09:34:45 UTC

What happen, we realized it was wrong to enslave other races and it helps us grow by broadening our pool of ideas. We started the march towards progress.

2018-09-20 09:34:59 UTC

People who are for ethnostates, forget that over time, that "We must stay pure" mentality erodes, and before long you have a mixed-state again

2018-09-20 09:35:18 UTC

What have the unenslaved done that was productive since becoming free?

2018-09-20 09:35:47 UTC

During the time of their freeing up to the civil rights movements, they done a lot to help our nation.

2018-09-20 09:36:37 UTC

Like codifying jazz? ๐Ÿ˜Ž

2018-09-20 09:36:44 UTC

becamse cheap labor! ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-09-20 09:36:45 UTC

So we can't really discount their contributions. It is when they became part of the democrat party, the same party that enslaved them that they were held back and staled.

2018-09-20 09:36:56 UTC

All thanks to the victim mentality that was instilled into them.

2018-09-20 09:37:05 UTC

Yeah

2018-09-20 09:37:08 UTC

I fucking hate it

2018-09-20 09:37:19 UTC

also, the enslaved brought us Rock 'n Roll, and other music ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-09-20 09:37:25 UTC

so they're good in my book

2018-09-20 09:37:43 UTC

They used to be physically enslaved, now they are enslaved through the mind.

2018-09-20 09:37:53 UTC

they need dragon energy

2018-09-20 09:38:14 UTC

Black conservatives are now working towards freeing their brothers & sisters from the enslavement of the mind.

2018-09-20 09:38:21 UTC

I applaud and support them.

2018-09-20 09:38:32 UTC

Democrats for so long have hurt our nation.

2018-09-20 09:38:40 UTC

It is time for them to realize their faults and change.

2018-09-20 09:38:48 UTC

" Extremism pays. Thatโ€™s why Silicon Valley isnโ€™t shutting it down."

2018-09-20 09:38:51 UTC

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

2018-09-20 09:39:16 UTC

This was said in reference to the alt right -__-

2018-09-20 09:39:20 UTC

Anyways I am heading to bed.

2018-09-20 09:39:37 UTC

Silicon valley isn't alt right, they are freaking alt left.

2018-09-20 09:39:45 UTC

They are heavily against conservatives, republicans, independents.

2018-09-20 09:39:49 UTC

They want to force people to take sides.

2018-09-20 09:39:56 UTC

Place them in bubbles, segregate people digitally.

2018-09-20 09:39:59 UTC

silicon valley are corporatists

Whatever they can use to earn more money they'll side with

2018-09-20 09:40:24 UTC

and since the current moguls of Silicon valley sell peoples information, and Leftists are all about virtue signalling, they sell big bank on those idiots

2018-09-20 09:40:42 UTC

cuz thsoe people freely give info to be able to show how virtuous they are

2018-09-20 09:40:53 UTC

AND they're easy to manipulate, so sillicon valley sides with them

2018-09-20 09:41:19 UTC

Actually there been documentation regarding silicon valley CEOs and employees as very political, using the tools they have to enforce their own socialist ideology.

2018-09-20 09:41:38 UTC

They are very heavily left leaning and they use their power to influence the social media.

2018-09-20 09:41:56 UTC

Point is

2018-09-20 09:41:59 UTC

Even if they are loosing money, they still push towards their ideology.

2018-09-20 09:42:15 UTC

They're basically talking about themselves

2018-09-20 09:42:43 UTC

they're not losing money

Youtube costs money for google, but they use the information YT gathers across all their platforms to sell ads, and it nets them profit

2018-09-20 09:42:56 UTC

same with others

2018-09-20 09:43:04 UTC

and those that DO lose money, bleed out really fast

2018-09-20 09:43:07 UTC

Still they are not driven by profit Dr. Wol, they are driven by ideology.

2018-09-20 09:43:23 UTC

Profit is a add bonus to them.

2018-09-20 09:43:23 UTC

money does a funny thing with ideology

2018-09-20 09:43:54 UTC

Lol this gets more prophetic every year

2018-09-20 09:45:23 UTC

i don't get it Neptune

2018-09-20 09:45:45 UTC

If they were driven by profit, we wouldn't be seeing the banning and deplatforming of individuals.

2018-09-20 09:45:57 UTC

sure we would

2018-09-20 09:46:00 UTC

Hell mastercard wouldn't have denied service to Alex Jones.

2018-09-20 09:46:03 UTC

Advertisers fear negative brand association

2018-09-20 09:46:28 UTC

the shitstorm of purity the MSM and Leftist hatemobs cause, makes companies afraid

2018-09-20 09:46:38 UTC

That is Advertisers, not Silicon Valley.

2018-09-20 09:46:45 UTC

cuz they fear it will cost them money, because they dont understand that this is a very small minority who doesn't even buy into things

2018-09-20 09:46:50 UTC

Sillicon Valley does it too

2018-09-20 09:47:02 UTC

Anyways I am heading to bed.

2018-09-20 09:47:04 UTC

any company wants to sell things, goods, services, information

2018-09-20 09:47:05 UTC

yes

2018-09-20 09:52:21 UTC

2018-09-20 09:55:29 UTC

Lots of things they mention

2018-09-20 09:59:38 UTC

Colonel:You exercise your right to "freedom" and this is the result.
All rhetoric to avoid conflict and protect each other from hurt.
The untested truths spun by different interests continue to churn and accumulate in the sandbox of political correctness and value systems.
Rose:Everyone withdraws into their own small gated community, afraid of a larger forum.
They stay inside their little ponds,
leaking whatever "truth" suits them into the growing cesspool of society at large.

2018-09-20 10:03:32 UTC

but thats how its always been

2018-09-20 10:09:10 UTC

Well that's just a piece of the dialogue

2018-09-20 10:09:19 UTC

But anyway

2018-09-20 10:35:13 UTC

This sounds pretty bad. I think this has more to do with EU rather than Big Tech. Getting a government involved in being able to tell these companies what to do is not the answer.

If Silicon Valley was smart they would only censor illegal content period .

2018-09-20 11:15:03 UTC

I'd trust anyone to write one @Poppy Rider ,

If what is written is neutral enough, fair enough and solid enough so its not to be abused is a different issue.

Remember, even the US constitution wasn't completed when it was first accepted, what with amendments still being added


But it's a better approach than letting them freely take peoples speech away in favor of others,
And to "regulate" only leaves them open to whoever is in charge to call the shots.

You need a bill of rights, not a system of regulation

2018-09-20 11:26:06 UTC

I would tend to agree but we are not in the good old days. I don't really mind YT or FB banning ppl, it sucks and it's unfair but it's not the end of the world, the net is a big place. I think a site like YT has the right to remove anyone for anyreason and I would not like that right taken away through regulation or a bill of rights.
I think we can all agree that government regulation is possibly the worst thing that can happen here. But a bill of rights is not much different. Look at the people in power, the people that would be writing it and voting on it. These people can not be trusted with such an important task right now.
FB is falling out of favour in the west and it's a trend that will happen in Africa as well. I think we should ride this out for a decade or so and see where the chips land.
We are like a toddler right now that's learning to run, we need to be allowed to fall over a few times.

2018-09-20 11:32:41 UTC

Tbh, I think government regulation is required. Youtube and twitter have way too big of a monopoly on online speech

2018-09-20 11:32:59 UTC

That's nonsense. The tech industry has formed a kind of cartel and if it is allowed to, it is completely possible to seal a given website off the net. Google search alone makes or breaks businesses.

The question is Youtube more of a newspaper or more like a telephone. I think the answer there is obvious. Google makes very little content on it's own and is really just hosting and indexing content for other people. It's much more like a telephone or the postal mail. We wouldn't claim that AT&T has a "right to deny phone service for any reason." We also know what happens when the telecoms are allowed to cheat--They elected the only president to have lost a majority of the electorate and get elected anyway by leaking information to their preferred political party.

When big companies like Google or Western Union can essentially dictate democracy by simply refusing service, it becomes a question of whether we really live in a free state.

As it is, Europe is regulating the internet but Europe doesn't have the same commitment to freedom of speech the US does. The US *must* counter-regulate.

2018-09-20 11:33:50 UTC

As I see it "where the chips land" likely involves a de-facto oligarchy. That should really be avoided.

2018-09-20 11:38:12 UTC

When you are talking on the phone to are not broadcasting your self to the world. YT is far more of a newspaper or free TV network and they absolutely have the right to say what is and is not shown.
Google is a different story.

2018-09-20 11:42:46 UTC

Now you're being really odd. How do you plan to regulate Google but not Youtube?

I'd say it would make more sense to be reversed. Google Search is extremely hard to regulate, let's put it aside for a bit. Google is just a company, it's not the company that's the problem, it's the behavior.

YouTube is much more of a platform. A newspaper has an editor and a very limited number of articles a day. YouTube is automated and houses exabytes of videos uploaded by people so other people can watch them. If you want an idea of broadcasting yourself to the world, think then of ham radio. Youtube is much closer to infrastructure (a telephone) than a meticulously curated product produced by a dedicated team of people. It also serves as a public square, which makes the "broadcasting" argument against regulation even more dubious.

2018-09-20 11:43:41 UTC

In the US, there is an argument that it is not really justified to use land control to completely disrupt political speech and organization.

2018-09-20 11:47:13 UTC

Telecoms are explicitly not allowed to deny phone service for this very reason.

2018-09-20 11:47:48 UTC

*some exceptions for economic arguments, like cost of laying wire and serving an area. Usually there's some kind of government deal in these cases to cover the costs.

2018-09-20 11:48:38 UTC

YouTube at scale shouldn't really have these kinds of limits, so a blanket "no censorship" rule (with some minor, specific exceptions like stuff that's illegal) is practical.

2018-09-20 11:49:40 UTC

You aren't going to just replace YouTube either. The network effects are strong. And there is a strong viewer-producer migration issue. YouTube would have to become nigh unusable to trigger a mass migration.

2018-09-20 11:50:45 UTC

We also have seen what happened when Gab tried to replace Twitter. It's on neither the Apple nor Android store.

2018-09-20 11:51:06 UTC

And then there's Freestrtr, and it's only a matter of time before they come for BitChute and Minds.

2018-09-20 11:51:35 UTC

Again, Google can make stuff effectively vanish by removing it from search. Or removing it from the Android store.

2018-09-20 11:52:44 UTC

2018-09-20 11:53:04 UTC

In the 90s, Microsoft got broken up in an antitrust suit for bundling a browser with an OS. Now we live in walled gardens of curated apps where the platform has unlimited power to decide who can and cannot do business..

When Android has 80% of the market, and Apple has roughly the other 20%, this is a problem.

2018-09-20 11:53:24 UTC

And the two companies have something of a revolving door of people.

2018-09-20 11:54:35 UTC

But that requires regulation of the apple/android store. Not necessarily regulation of Apple or Google themselves.

2018-09-20 11:56:39 UTC

The influencer network thing... Well, it does claim to utilise a snowball system. Which is genuinly useful to get some estimation of groups youd not gain access to such as crime syndicates. But if they did genuinly use a snowball system, how can they possibly have come across Chris Raygun but not Lacy Green?

2018-09-20 12:08:59 UTC

@pratel i read your wall of messages good shit bro ๐Ÿ‘

2018-09-20 12:10:11 UTC

@Poppy Rider Poppy harlow im not for banning people when they constantly evolve terms of service

2018-09-20 12:10:46 UTC

I didn't say I wanted to reg Google. My point is that the issues with Google Search are different to the issues with YT.
I wouldn't compere YT to ham. Ham is a decentralised system. You could knock out all but two nodes and it would still work. YT may be bigger than a TV net work but it works in a very similar way. We have to keep in mind that any regs put on sites like YT are going to apply to others. A no censorship policy will hurt smaller companies when the advertisers don't want their stuff associated with the extremes.
Your right YT isn't going anywhere any time soon. It runs at a massive loss already and google would be willing to absorb a bit more if it cemented them in place.
We already have antitrust and monopoly laws. You say you fear an oligarchy but that is exactly what I see happening with calls for regulation. Much like the ppl screaming for censorship then complain when they get censored, I fear demanding that YT and GS be completely open will make it to expensive for startups to get a foot hold. Creating a de-facto oligarchy anyway. We see it here in the UK, the Gov get unfavourable coverage from the BBC so they start waving the regulation stick in their face and look what happens, 8 out of 10 ppl on the BBC are anti-Brexit.

2018-09-20 12:10:47 UTC

Jack declared twitter as a public square

2018-09-20 12:12:35 UTC

but still people are silenced from that public square <:TimThink:482277772497125378>

2018-09-20 12:16:02 UTC

The best thing we can do with Twitter now is use it as a billboard for other sites. When poeple complain that we stay within the rules and ppl don't really know what we think, 'it's a sanitised version of white supremacy' Then we tell them that what they campaigned for.

2018-09-20 12:16:08 UTC

@Abel he did i memba dat and trump cant ban people so why is twatter allowed to ? And dont give me its their platform bs

2018-09-20 12:17:06 UTC

It's not just "a platform" when there's literally no serious competition

2018-09-20 12:17:21 UTC

It's the *only* platform

2018-09-20 12:17:50 UTC

IMO, no one should be banned unless they post something actually illegal.

2018-09-20 12:18:20 UTC

๐Ÿ’ฏ agree ^

2018-09-20 12:20:16 UTC

I like exclusivity of smart people.

2018-09-20 12:20:19 UTC

So what happens if I want to start a twitter for Christian fundamentalist. It's designed to be a bubble, I don't want any disagreement to happen on my site. Am I allowed to ban ppl? Where dose your rule stand with freedom of association?

2018-09-20 12:20:23 UTC

But that should be for more specific ENCLAVES.

To ban someone from the entire service is a little ridiculous.

2018-09-20 12:20:50 UTC

It's the equivalent of banning someone from THE FORMAT of all forums.

2018-09-20 12:20:56 UTC

That's how big these services are now.

2018-09-20 12:21:09 UTC

They're the equivalent of every forum in the world combining into a giant ultra-forum.

2018-09-20 12:21:57 UTC

Twitter wants to be known as a public utility.

2018-09-20 12:22:13 UTC

The second it said that, it should've relinquished its rights to ban whoever they wanted.

2018-09-20 12:22:52 UTC

And regulating them means regulating any start ups to the same degree. It could very well cement them as the public square. The only people that want that are Big Tech and the government.

2018-09-20 12:24:11 UTC

Telling you, repeal section 230

2018-09-20 12:24:26 UTC

II would much rather see these sites fall by their own hand so the next sites to rise don't make the same mistake. YT and Twitter could very easily say that they need more gov hand outs to protect the service. This is not good for compation.

2018-09-20 12:27:54 UTC

@Poppy Rider if you claim to be a piblic square you are a public square, if you want to create a platform for christians then your platform is not really public

2018-09-20 12:29:20 UTC

So if you create legislation following those guidelines, all any of the companies has to do is stop calling themselves a public square, which would make it pointless.

2018-09-20 12:30:13 UTC

Im fine with that then they can reap the benefits of not being a public square like not recieving tax dollars

2018-09-20 12:30:56 UTC

Unless im misinformed on this

2018-09-20 12:31:45 UTC

If they are receiving tax dollars the I would argue that stop regardless.

2018-09-20 12:32:43 UTC

@Grenade123 Why do you think repealing 230 is a good idea?

2018-09-20 12:33:19 UTC

It means they need to stop moderating their platform or be treated as a publisher and therefore liable for what is said.

2018-09-20 12:33:42 UTC

Basically it makes Twitter liable for slander rather than the person saying it.

2018-09-20 12:33:50 UTC

Etc

2018-09-20 12:34:10 UTC

230 protects them from being liable.

2018-09-20 12:34:25 UTC

If that happens everyone would get banned @Grenade123

2018-09-20 12:34:37 UTC

And Twitter would be dead

2018-09-20 12:34:43 UTC

If you take it away it means the sites are responceable for what is said.

2018-09-20 12:35:15 UTC

No, they are only responsible IF they moderate

2018-09-20 12:35:43 UTC

Ok that makes sense ^

2018-09-20 12:35:56 UTC

So if they take one thing down they are no longer protected by the 230?

2018-09-20 12:36:08 UTC

Basically, if they moderate, they are a publisher, if not they are like a library

2018-09-20 12:36:26 UTC

Im fine with this then ^

2018-09-20 12:36:45 UTC

So how would taking the protection away be helpful?

2018-09-20 12:36:47 UTC

However, banning might still be protected, not sure exactly.

2018-09-20 12:36:48 UTC

But what about moderating illegal content

2018-09-20 12:37:03 UTC

And would users be able to block

2018-09-20 12:37:13 UTC

That would be the governments job to have it taken down

2018-09-20 12:37:25 UTC

Or they moderate, and are open to lawsuits

2018-09-20 12:38:57 UTC

230 gives protection to unmoderated sites. Just coz Twitter and FB are playing both sides doesn't mean 230 is the problem. I can't see why repealing it help.

2018-09-20 12:42:23 UTC

in stead of getting rid of it I think the answer is to enforce it. If twitter wants to curate their site then they are going to be liable for everything. If not, they are protact by section 230.
It seems we already have the laws in place to sort this mess out, they just need to be enforced.

2018-09-20 12:48:07 UTC

230 does not give protection to unmoderated sites, those were already protected before 230.

2018-09-20 12:50:32 UTC

There is another series of laws, original to protect like people selling newspapers for being responsible for what the newspapers say, but hold the newspaper publisher responsible for allowing it.

2018-09-20 12:52:47 UTC
2018-09-20 12:52:57 UTC

Best take on this

2018-09-20 12:53:10 UTC

Even better then tims

2018-09-20 12:54:48 UTC

I didn't know that @Grenade123 . It makes sense when you think about it. OK, thats fine, are you saying Twitter should be classed as a news paper vender?

2018-09-20 12:57:04 UTC

<:GWfroggyFeelsUpMan:400751139563241473>

2018-09-20 13:18:50 UTC

Who?

2018-09-20 13:23:37 UTC

@Poppy Rider if they moderate, yes. If they want to stop moderating they can be classified as a platform (I believe that is the term used now to be equivalent to a library or somewhere hosting these works)

2018-09-20 13:24:01 UTC

Publisher can get sued for the content in their publication, a platform cannot

2018-09-20 13:24:55 UTC

At least that is my understanding of previous existing law before 230, where a website was sued for slander and it was argued that since they moderate "foul language" they should be a publisher.

2018-09-20 13:24:55 UTC

Being prevented from moderating is going to have lots of unintended consequences.

2018-09-20 13:25:14 UTC

Is spam protected by the first amendment?

2018-09-20 13:25:19 UTC

What about dick pics?

2018-09-20 13:26:39 UTC

If I crapflood a tweet with replies of meatspin.gif am I protected from intervention by Twitter?

2018-09-20 13:28:02 UTC

Porn I think has a slightly different set of rules around it, so porn might still be able to be removed. And bans might still be allowed (it's like a library deciding not to have a book)

2018-09-20 13:28:33 UTC

Wait now. Removing porn is moderating.

2018-09-20 13:28:35 UTC

Spam would be be allowed, but it doesn't mean the user cannot have mute and block features

2018-09-20 13:29:11 UTC

Except the president.

2018-09-20 13:29:32 UTC

Removing illegal posts is not moderation by the platform, and it they don't claim the to be a porn site

2018-09-20 13:29:39 UTC

What I'm trying to get at here is that there are lots and lots of ways that this can go wrong and we need to consider them.

2018-09-20 13:29:52 UTC

Yes ^

2018-09-20 13:30:10 UTC

If you want to see what 'no moderation except illegal stuff' looks like, go to /b/.

2018-09-20 13:30:17 UTC

Right, and adding more laws won't be a problem

2018-09-20 13:30:19 UTC

Would a site code of conduct be allowed?

2018-09-20 13:30:41 UTC

Memba wen /b/ was good?

2018-09-20 13:30:55 UTC

I don't think social media is helpful much at all.

2018-09-20 13:31:04 UTC

So i don't really care if it dies.

2018-09-20 13:31:49 UTC

But i think removing laws is better before adding new ones.

2018-09-20 13:32:05 UTC

Let's not advocate for our own article 13

2018-09-20 13:32:07 UTC

90% this

2018-09-20 13:34:13 UTC

But yes, you might need to modify the old laws slightly to outline what level of stuff is considered editing/moderating and what isn't

2018-09-20 13:34:27 UTC

But 230 should be removed

2018-09-20 13:35:03 UTC

Because right now the government is the one protecting conservatives from really suing Twitter and Facebook and the like.

2018-09-20 13:37:12 UTC

>Tim's annoyed that customers are giving companies customer feedback that their listening of a minority group outside their customer base is causing them to stop buying their products

Thankfully he is doing something about it. Exposing these people and their agenda, bringing attention to it.

2018-09-20 13:37:17 UTC

About fucking time someone did something.
