"Brooooo, I can buy cigarettes at Walgreens and get drunk at a party and get waaaasted!! Brooo, did you hear about the police back at Idaho! Man, they need to have sex with my wife! I BACK THE BLUE AFTER ALL!!!!! FREEEEEEDOOOOOOM!!!!!"

does anybody wonder if biden is actally trying to be nice how he claims but just mentally retarded so he goes about it the wrong way

Biden doesn't worry me, congress worries me

Biden is a weak man

It’s the party behind him

The "pRiVaTe cOmPaNy" argument is not valid. Twatter, Fakebook, and these other social media platforms are the new public square where most conversation goes on nowadays. These firms should have no ability to ban anyone at all (unless it is objevtively a genuine threat, legally recognized illicit material, or calls/recruitment for terrorism), given that they U.S. based and take state subsidies. To that end, they should be beholden to our laws/constitution. The tragic part is that 230 is there to stop these sites from acting the way they are, but because money is allowed to influence politicians, it is not being enforced

What? Section 230 is actually what allows them to blurr the lines between a publisher and public forum platform. Repeal section 230 and hold these big techs accountable or nationalize them entirely.

We need to burn these companies with pain and economic agony.

Yes, I understand the distinction 230 creates. It isn't the companies, it is the refusal of the government to enforce its own rules when companies claiming to be platforms are blatantly acting as publishers

We punish them by repealing section 230.

As private companies, they must act the same amount of duty minded as normal citizens.
Guarantee them 1st amendment rights. And accountability and transparency.

How would that punish them? Wouldn't that just obliterate smaller competition?

No.

Alt Tech is already a "smaller competition" and they are rising without them even caring about section 230.

These alt techs thrive by guaranteeing their users 1st amendment.

Twitter and FaceBook don't.

They disguise their tyrannical, Orwellian actions under "protection against hate speech" guidelines.

If you are advertising yourself as a social platform, you de facto must be consistent with that and play as public forum.

Period.

That's why Twitter is falling in sales.

I agree with you on the public forum statement. My understanding of 230 is that it prevents site owner accountability as long as what is on your site does not go through you directly. What these tech giants are doing is direct moderation of content; thereby defining them as publishers under 230, and thus should open them up to the consequences of being a publisher

its over cut ur peepees off now time to transition to a biden presidency

How to loose neurons and IQ: Be a libertarian in 2021.

I mean the Libertarians are right on this, Twitter did lose 5 billion in revenue

Same with the bank that closed an account of trump worth 5.3 million

These guys are idiots

But the left will probably find a way to fund them

Libertardians are wrong on the whole "build your own shit" and their cuckery with the NAP.

This quote from the same news drives the point home:
"In early 2020, threats of similar boycotts were used to keep South Dakota from banning sex-change treatments for children in the service of “transgender” extremism.

The real challenge for conservatives, then, is clear. The crisis of freedom in America is not a simple matter of passing local laws, or building a parallel network of websites, banks, domain registrars, and more. The bottleneck on freedom is not a few socialists, or a few rich companies. It’s the American state itself, which treats any ideologically independent body of sufficient size with the same ruthlessness as a rogue state that won’t accept child transgenderism and abortion in exchange for “foreign aid.”

Such a system cannot be stopped by founding a new company that will just be squished like a bug. It can only be stopped by tearing it down completely, and building a new power structure with totally different values. And that can only be done by building a political movement that understands the stakes and plays to win."

The last part is key.

Libertarians will never play to win.

And the mainstream conservatives won't until they abandon their libertarian platitudes and start playing for keeps and more aggressively.

Yeah but who are you to decide what someone wants to do with their body? If someone wants to inject bleach into themselves, they can go right ahead. As long as it doesn’t affect individuals freedoms or private property.

Same with drugs

If someone wants to be coked out 24/7

They can

Go ahead and boo me

Imagine believing destroying yourself is a noble expression of liberty.

It kills stupid <:thinking:726878987837636698>
