yeah the political cheerleaders will go away and it will calm down
unless trump somehow pulls out a win
that will be... entertaining to watch what hapens online
probably a few more rittenhouse like cases to analyze
Not to mention I think de-platforming yourself is the biggest sort of self-destructive behavior you could think of.
"Ah yes. I'll show it to the system by removing all of my influence and my ability to attempt and get my truth out there. Excellent."
I should be a little more gentle with how I'm wording this but it's irksome. It's probably just today.
yes @ImNotGas this is just an interesting ride we are on for the time being.
Yea that does not make any sense to me @Maw I could "show" YouTube by ..... being cancelled and muted permanently?
The problem is that YT, Google, Patreon, Twitter, Twitch, etc. have been choosing what races, colors, sexes, ethnicities, religions, and political affiliations are allowed to speak for years now. So, there is no difference if 230 is removed. @ImNotGas
@RobertGrulerEsq Exactly.
@RobertGrulerEsq the people demanding you fight and not bow down really dont understand the power that youtube holds in this arrangement
@RobertGrulerEsq they probably legitimately believe anyone could go sue them in a county court
for 1st amendment violations
@RobertGrulerEsq It is not a question of what you can do. It is a matter of what they shall do as soon as they feel like it fits their political agenda.
and the discussion in the discord has been helpful ... @TaLoN132 myself and others have hashed through some of the details of the court cases here and I've found that helpful ... but with all the new people arriving on the server and re-hashing stuff we've been over before it's hard to move forward with new discussion at times ... this too will pass
@Whithers the differense is if 230 is removed there is a possibility where the places that DONT discrimiate as such get drowned in lawsuits and die any time they start to gain any userbase
Diversification, and setting up on platforms that will not be restricted.
I think the same thing about being a lawyer. If you don't like the system, your best chance of changing the system is to be a part of the system. Not alienating yourself from the system.
Follow Lin Woods' and Sidney Powell's tactic in GA Senate race...
Exactly. I bite my tongue all the time in court (most of the time). You have to play by the rules and operate within the confines of the rules.
Feels bad man.jpg when the rules are stacked against you, but that the way it works.
Not a winning strategy, imo.
Gotta roll with the punches.
They will find that out.
@ImNotGas The problem is the Left is lying about what Trump intends with 230. It isn't about leaving everyone hanging. It is about limiting the censorship to specifics: corporations should not have authority to suppress or remove Unalienable Rights.
i understand what he intends
Oh yes... the "Don't vote" tactic, see my prior "self-destructive behaviors" rant.
well you're a smart guy if you can do that in the court of law and still get your message across you can do that in the court of YouTube
I believe
@Maw Here, <gives nuclear handgrenade> pull the pin and wait ten seconds.
@Maw honestly the don't vote tactic can be useful if you are trying to force the party to action
It can also lead to one-party rule!
@meglide I think so. We can still discuss the issues and play within the rules.
@RobertGrulerEsq there are plenty of places to watch people pick apart the lawsuits, you are one of the few that look at the procedures and explains the technical legal jargon.
@RobertGrulerEsq exactly
@Maw yes, i would agree that this specific election is not a great time to do it. But it can be a useful tactic
I don't want one party rule. I want the DNC to go the way of the Dodo and be replaced by a slightly left leaning Libertarian party.
@Maw esp. considering how lackluster the republican party has been the past 4 years
The RNC is as divided as the DNC.
Appreciate that @Phil
