utterly fucking astounding that any Dem would look at what’s happening and think that giving this administration sweeping new authority to prosecute speech on the internet is a good idea

Senator Dick Durbin
It’s time to repeal Section 230. We must be able to take social media companies to court for addicting kids and enabling drug trafficking on their platforms.

Oh yeah but NOW is the time to make it an issue. 🤦♀️
The 2019 was supposedly "unknowingly".
Repeal of 230 means *at best* maybe a heavily moderated Facebook survives and *nowhere else*.
Not only does it not do what he claims it does, it was made as clear as possible in the law itself that it doesn't work like that.
These dinosaurs need to go!
Section 230 could not be any clearer about how much it *DOES NOT DO THIS* unless it called him out by his government name and mandated the relevant sections be printed in 48 point font.
What in the fuck is this life.
It's another case of the Party’s interests being divergent from voters, because they're colossally out of touch and haven't really listened to normal people since 1992.
The reason Crockett and Cortez don't come across this way is because they aren't suffering from Long Affluenza.
Idk they could just be that stupid
Why Dems want to work with Republican's after all the bad faith bs of the last 20 years boggles my mind.

2) Musk is a follower of Curtis Yarvin who says low productivity people should be converted to biodiesel
3) Musk owns Twitter
Providing Musk full legal immunity for promoting whatever content he wants to promote sure isn't going to end badly!

Section 230 prevents us - the users and targets of social media - from protecting ourselves or requiring that Meta, TikTok and Truth Social remove incitement of violence.
Sigh....
Are you looking forward to Musk trying the same on X?

No more $$$$$$$$$$$$
I am now on a payment plan based on results.
Therefore, don’t expect anymore $$$$$.
Results driven pay is now in effect. Until further notice.
Honestly.
(plus replace like 10 other senate votes for the median of the caucus, instead of being the edge cases that ruin everything)
Dick Durban simply does not have the juice to deal with our current challenges.
Or that they once almost got banned from the Apple store for human trafficking?

What do you think X is going to get up to?

Who is going to enforce that?
Who is in control of the justice system?
Who is in control of the supreme court?
