DMCA Section 230
Okay, but what if we just repeal or ignore that rule in order to conduct a pogrom of WrongThinkers?
It shuts down Truth social and all social networks. YouTube stops allowing uploads, the fediverse closes up shop, cats and dogs living together.
Nope, because the platform that bend the knee and suck the dee are granted an "exception".
It doesn't shut the Fediverse; it just means each user needs to run their own instance so that the "user" doing the speech and the "publisher" liable for it are one in the same.
Ah, good point. I guess things would rapidly re-form in the favor of the fediverse if this law was overturned…
Sounds like a monkey paw situation to me!
Anything bad?
Well, it’ll be a difficult transition. But in the long run, maybe not?
As long as the Fourth Estate gets their shit together.
I would not hold my breath
Like everything else, the same laws and rules they have hidden behind to justify and protect their absolute dogshit behavior will be the first things the regime will get rid of for protecting anyone other than their in-group.
