    Except, Twitter DIDN'T point people in the direction of the facts! Mail in ballots DO pose a voter fraud risk! :roflol:

    So you are against government regulating private companies?

    Well they can. But they can’t receive protection in section 230 if they do.

    What will it achieve if the protection is removed?

    It means they can be sued for libel for something their users post.

    Which will either force them to stop publishing or go out of business from a plethora of lawsuits.

    An actual social media platform that doesn’t censor or truth check their posters with a clear undeniable bias in favor of liberal posts.

    I thought it was called capitalism?

    Are you proposing the government take control of businesses and run them to suit the government's propaganda needs?

    You mean like the one for broadcast mediums?
    The one ignored by radio and tv stations across the country?
    The one Republicans shredded a few years ago?
    THAT FAIRNESS DOCTRINE?

    WRONG.

    They did NOT edit his post.

    Their “opinion” ? SO him lying is OK, but anyone else is just an “opinion” ?

    No the billionaires who run the platforms are acting like dictators. They censor they edit and they remove anything they want based on whatever opinion they have, this makes them a publisher not a platform if they're responsible for the content then they should not get them immunities of a platform.

    So really he's fighting against dictators.

    He is trying to change the classification of the entities to take away protections afforded them in the CDA. By trying to change their classification he is trying to change the law
