@Weez People don't just leave platforms because they dislke them. In terms of modern internet platforms, there aren't any places else to go.

<:Doubt:588038713938804760>

Trouble with them being a place where everyone connects with one another is that they keep one another there.

I am surprised people managed to turn their computers and phones on to use twitter in the first instance

Capitalism isn't inherently right-wing.

@stathelle Yes, they do. Yes, there are.

Why go to Gab, when everyone is on Facebook, etc?

Point and case. Gab.

Voat.

4chan.

gab is a legit platform that deserves 230 protection though because they let anyone post anything

@Weez OF course there are alternatives, however they are not anywhere near the level of reach that twitter or youtube has

same with voat and 4chan

Then get to using them.

Let's bust some trusts <:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>

Start expanding its reach.

you are assuming i dont?

It's not a static thing, it's dynamic.

@Weez if you want to be practical, being on big social media platforms is the most practical

ah i see weez is the all knowing one

If you want more people using it, then use it yourself and get others to use it.

Trouble is that the market isn't magical and free market dynamics don't always work... because people aren't perfect, hyper-intelligent actors always acting in their own best interests.

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

<:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

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
