It's sad to see Section 230- which protects all websites & grants them the basic escape of liability for the bad things their users post- be manipulated & lied about by both major parties. Both sides are deranged & out of touch.
Sad scoring of political points by meddling with one of the only laws on the books that has allowed any measure of freedom of speech whatsoever on the internet. It's a hotbutton issue, but pointing at big tech & saying you're going to do something (but actually you're bashing America in the face) is no classier than wrecking the social safety net over "welfare queens": another way to titillate & excite, to make low & cowardly arguments about the very worst, but ignore the 99.9999% of use. This is such an issue of the day, but screwing with 230 is not where we need to go. And god damn is it so fragging tacky & cheap.
