We should give them a terms of use that we agree to
Seriously though have a Republican a democrat and an impartial party ready to count mail absentee ballots and we be aight from here on out
As a lot of the stuff discussed here it's been done before. Dominant phone company mama Bell was split in 7 regional companies.
True, but lawmakers who understand the constitution should have a hand in it or like Lindsay Graham said...Better Business Practices
@happyhappy I think you’re right but make it federal law
That sounds a lot like the start of a bar joke.
As far as I'm concerned, it matters not who is elected, as long as the election was fair, free and without fraud.
@WaffleWaffle so it can definitely be done or split in some way especially since Hubble, and Parler are platforms now.
@Maw I'm like you about S230... The Social Media platforms already censor. We are just talking about the degree of censorship. They went from too little in 2016 to arguably too much in 2020. Removing the protections will force the platforms to police EVERYTHING including personal content. If they want no censorship at all, then it will only be a matter of time before porn takes over.
Short of splitting them I'd say just changing the law so that if the want S230 protection they must not interfere with content or its distribution in any way.
I know it won’t happen. But something some change must come from 2020 election and be known as the change that happened in history
@WaffleWaffle I'd like to see it split to be honest with you.
Split Twitter and FB and throw out the owners
@Raven Evermore They won't because they fear Tiktok i.e. China and Europe. Their wish for global dominance blinds them to the domestic enemy.
In the meantime I will just spend my time "tweeting" on parler lol. Also, I'll silently curse you tube for labeling stuff as "misinformation" or "the AP called the election for Biden"
Don’t let tiktok in. But again that’s China so they’re already in
Though I'm really thinking something should be done soon. If Trump takes FB to court.... it might actually amount up to them losing a ton of money.
He’s taking them only over hiring people with visas
I think the foreigner prefference lawsuite will be extremely difficult to prove and they will come with a lame excuse like financial difficulties.
People constantly underestimate how smart Trump really is though.
Most people don't like Trump because he doesn't conform to the mold (stereotype).
Curiously enough those that don't tolerate the way he is are the same that preach diversity, tolerance and so on.
That's exactly why I like him though.
Same here
Stereotypes are completely overrated anyway.
You can basically just call them Democrats @WaffleWaffle
or as some say extreme leftists.
We can ask @RobertGrulerEsq if he'd do a piece on how big telephone was split and if the same process might apply to big tech.
Great idea
I don't believe in labelling hahahahaha
Me neither, nor do I pretend to go along with this identity crisis pandemic LOL
@Raven Evermore, you just advanced to level 4!
I know it's a little insulting, but I refer to them as "woke jokes"
Hahahaha cool.
I would argue that it would not be similar at all. There's a massive divide between administration and maintenance over 10s of thousands of copper wires, and the communications that take place among the 10s of millions of copper and fiber wires.
Not to mention the fact that it's a fairly trivial pursuit to retain control over a wide network of individual corporations.
At the end of the day, if you "break up" alphabet, for example, what you'll end up with is an even more difficult litigious landscape.
The day you wake up and decide puberty blockers are a good idea for 9 year old kids is when you're a complete joke :/
@jfindley It's even more trivial to censor 7 million people.
Just change copper wire to fiber optics and is the same ole.
That's not (only) what alphabet does, though...
I'd say that's the day you go to the looney bin but I am inclusive as hell.
