Section 230

[kalm]

A 20 year old law that protects online platforms (EG: cs.com) from being held liable for third party/user content. It also enables owners of these platforms to create and enforce their own TOS without fear of being sued for 1st amendment violations. This new law, the “Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act” (house version) potentially erodes both, in the name of protecting hookers and children. It passed the senate 97-2 with Amy Schumer, Seth Myers, and Ivanka Trump publicly supporting it. The President signed it into law.

So websites like Twitter and Reddit can get in trouble if some people are doing illegal stuff over it?

I think they would've made a stink over it if it was really that egregious.

From my understanding, Reddit is already shutting down/changing some of their sub-reddits. There's also a suggestion that this will have a far greater affect on small to medium sized websites than the big boys which is why they are either not initially opposed or perhaps even pushed for it.

Regardless, isn't less rules and more speech better?

I see.

Kudos to the left proggy Young Turks for their coverage of this and Rand Paul for voting against it.

And they covered it after being called out by the left for not covering it. I’m more surprised that the Intercept hadn’t run with it.

Well Kalmster, the government will gladly take away your freedom whenever they can. It’s up to the People to try and stop them.

My time and energy are focused on stopping the gun grabbing. That’s why I am a life member of two organizations whose mission is to protect those freedoms granted in the Bill of Rights and my State’s Constitution. I spend money, write letters, make calls, and show up to rallies. I am even critical of my peers who do such things as show up at pro-2A rallies open-carrying ARs and AKs because of the bad optics that presents, and I get criticized myself because of it on the 2A forums I frequent. I even state a willingness to negotiate on some issues, which REALLY gets a rise.

Anyway, what I’m saying is, if it’s a hot button issue for you, act.

Why do you care about anti gunners feelings?

Who cares if people open carry and it offends others? I love it when idiots do that. I prefer to have people not know they are standing next to an armed person but if its a legal activity why the stigma?

Some of us live in deep blue states. You should thank us for trying to stem the tide a bit before it gets to you.

We’ve had pretty good organization and results in this latest grab attempt. Six bills were proposed. We got the assault weapons ban and the raise-age-to-21 bills tabled. For now.

I appreciate your concern, I really do.

Gun laws do not apply to me anymore. Pass all you want I am not going to follow them.

I shall not be infringed

Rand Paul for President. Seriously. That is all.

[CID1990]

Rand Paul for President. Seriously. That is all.

He's the closest thing to an actual Libertarian that we have

he is basically seen as a crackpot by most of the Senate as well as the media

which is why the things he does to draw attention to our bloated, overreaching government never get a fair hearing... he'll filibuster a bill over drone strikes on US citizens and the media just reports that he's holding up a bill because he's kooky Rand Paul

And he mulches instead of bags in a gated community. That is a maverick!

I was sorry to see Rand vote Pompeo out of Committee, though.
