The Great Social Media Political Fuckshow

Exactly. He's going to punish someone for stepping up to him. What a choad.

Leaving his comments/reasons aside, I think it is a good time to have the discussion on weather or not Twitter and other social media platforms should enjoy the distinct liability exemptions they have when they are functioning more along the lines of a distributor than a platform from a product standpoint.

Exactly. They want to keep that liability exemption, they can stop with the censorship. Pretty straight forward IMO. That said not sure how this executive order is enforceable, and it it probably dependent on private folks lining up to sure SM companies.

Are you talking about the label on Trump's tweet as censorship?

One of my Law School classmates claims to have authored some or all of Section 230 and is carpet-bombing FB with posts on why the executive order is constitutional. I have no dog in the Section 230 fight, but the order is a Rube Goldberg contraption.

Agree.

I am in the same boat as you except that I am curious on how it all shakes out. I can see both sides of the argument and depending on the situation I can side either way. It has been awhile since I have been completely on the fence about an issue.
