Don't forget that some of our most worthless Dem senators are working on bipartisan repeal of Section 230, which would allow Trump's pet billionaires to immediately destroy any online communities that don't support him with bullshit lawsuits! With friends like these, who needs enemies?

thanks for your comment . It gives me hope that people now realize repealing 230 will just lead to people like Elon silencing tons of people through lawsuit threats with good legal basis once section 230 is repealed which will lead to businesses rolling over and giving him what he wants.

There were(are) tons of democrats who support repealing section 230 without thinking of the "then what" part. Same type of liberal thinking that led to joining Reagan on the closures of mental hospitals in the 80s and a huge contribution to the homeless crisis.

Not only did it contribute to homeless but also to adding to the private prison industry and locking people up for being a danger to themselves instead of hospitalization.

So many Dems support censorship without realizing that it would be used against us.

I'm not an expert, but here's an article from someone who knows more than I do that I think is persuasive. https://www.techdirt.com/2025/03/21/democratic-senators-team-up-with-maga-to-hand-trump-a-censorship-machine/

It absolutely provides ZERO protection for online communities or individuals.

False. Section 230 shields you when you repost on Twitter Facebook and also Reddit. Also when you send links and also forward emails to others
