I don't want to turn this into a political rant, but a reminder about the main reason we are even arguing why we should not repeal an act designed to protect freedom of speech: Trump, the ostensible leader of the free world, was furious about #DiaperDon trending on Twitter, declaring it a threat against national security.
Hopefully in a couple of months this ludicrous furore over curtailing freedom of speech will be a non-issue again.

- pavlov 6y agoHe is currently threatening to veto the military funding bill if it doesn’t include a rider for repealing Section 230. I think most people would agree that has nothing to do with the military and shouldn’t be in the bill. We can only speculate on the real reasons he’s doing this now, but the timing feels like revenge for the fact-checking applied to his election claims.
- the-dude 6y agoSlipping in unrelated stuff into bills has been par for the course for ages now if I am not mistaken. What about he is trying to get as much stuff through in the time he has left? For example, the various troop pullouts : as a non-US citizen I am very pleased with the past 4 years of foreign policy.
