What happens when you unperson 10s of millions of angry, increasingly poor and possibly deranged people who can no longer vent their frustrations on the social media?

They’re not a paper anything because they can’t even agree on what they stand for.

Totally the case during the Bush years. They’ve coalesced quite nicely since the Occupy movement.

Yeah sounds bad, we should build a better society so that poor people have more resources than "posting"

Can Congress not amend Section 230 to put requirements on social media under the assumption that they are a public utility?

You want freedom from liability, then you must do A, B, and C for the public good.

Seems like there is a spectrum between [No liability. No rules] <--------> [Sue the fuck out of Facebook for everything!]

Why bother at this point? Social media is already working to censor everyone you are ideologically opposed to.

Section 230 was mostly about formalizing what direction the courts were already leaning in.

What a horrible way to go about governing a country.

Just outsource you governance to private entities. Enjoy the W. Profit.

"Parler CEO says it took down post from Lin Wood calling for Mike Pence's execution"

Ah, so it seems even parler isn't above censorship

Clinton aide seems happy with these developments.

Apparently absolutely all of Parler’s data...including location data and deleted posts...was hacked and archived.
