Simple.

@UnScottable no need to do ad homenim attacks

" A platform is not responsible (legal) for the content that is posted. Publisher: a company or person that qurates and distributes content. ... A publisher is legal responsible for the posted content and the source"

right and publishers edit

section 230 is simply an exemption

Curation implies publishing.

this is the distinction

Anyway, the nature of Facebook and Twitter means it's easy to get back on anyway.

sect 230 sits on TOP of those defintions

An exemption that makes them ***NOT LIABLE*** for anything posted on their site.

So I don't even understand why you're crying when you can just go back

Free of charge

Do you know how much that matters?

@Zakhan exactly!

thats not a valid argument as to why they shuld still have 230 protection though

@Weez it's because no matter what, certain topics will be eventually silenced

that exception is the only thing that makes the internet businesss model work

they clearly think they are liable for their content because they edit it and curate it

Then just make your account to push people to your website where it can be spoken about.

Easy.

but they dont want to be legally bound by that cuz they want their cake and to eat it too

And now look at that, you're expanding your website.

Remove their exemption, see them curate everything so excessively trying not be taken to court for what people write and say, then see how they go into a death spiral.

otherwise evrery single person you host would have to be carefully vetted

@Weez but there aren't better places to go as there aren't as many people, and as many different political people on these alternative platforms

Getting removed isn't the end of the world.

Make another account.

Zakhan gets it

Who gives a shit?

Push people to your platform.

they won't GIVE free services anymore

@ManAnimal the exemption will still be available to sites that dont curate

If people like it, then they'll stay and use it.

negative

Then it'll grow.

the law doesn't work that way

@Weez it's never that simple though

But it is.

Remove the exemption from Facebook and other non-free platforms breaching the terms of that exemption. Then see how the sites that follow the terms get more traffic, when the big sites start over-curating.

its not about completely removing it. its about examining whether or not it should apply to facebook, google and twitter @ManAnimal
