Don't forget GA - Dems won full control, and will now have at least some ability to legislate. So Twitter et al need to be thinking about how to get ahead of the complaints that the left has against section 230 (the left hates it because they are not forced to aggressively moderate, the right hates it because they are allowed to moderate at all). This was not looking likely to be something they had to worry about until the surprise sweep in Georgia, so I'd argue that may have played as big a role as the craziness in DC.
- troupe 6y agoI had forgotten about 230. Banning Trump makes a lot more sense with that in context.
- uoaei 6y agoI haven't heard anybody anywhere near the left criticizing Section 230. Not sure where you heard that.
- elpool2 6y agoJoe Biden has called for 230 to be revoked immediately. I would think that counts.
- uoaei 6y agoIt would, if Joe Biden were anywhere near the left. But he's not. He's a Bush Sr.-era Republican wearing a (D) at the end of his name.
- notsureaboutpg 6y agoHahahaha you are lying yes? My whole family, immediate and extended are Democrats and they all think everyone who says anything conservative should be banned by force of law off social media
