Dammit, I love reading this site, more so than that letting Russell Greer get the satisfaction of getting his despised section 230 removed turns my stomach
 
The worst part is that the retards supporting 230's repeal think that "the internet" is just Facebook and Twitter, or that people won't also sue Parler.

I'd be fine with 230's repeal if it was just for publicly traded companies, or for websites with a certain active population, but it'll always fuck over everyone because people are retarded.
 
well hopefully some advisor tells him itd make pretty much everything untenable like they did with all the other stuff he was forced to privately acknowledge he knew fuck all about
 
How much data is a full backup of the site? If it goes down there is still an absolute wealth of information here that should be preserved.

This sucks, and I definitely empathize with you on this matter. This is a fun community, and probably the most interesting form of social media that's on the internet today. When you do shut the site down, please don't sell any of our information.
 
Well shit, I don't even get my one year anniversary here.

And I'll be completely alone again even if I'm one of the most hated users on the site, this place was the one place I had someone to talk to, and now it's gone.

Fuck politics, they kill everything
 
So many people are going to claim that this is their victory, when this is a consequence of out of touch idiots trying to fix a broken window by knocking down a wall.

It has been fun, my fellow ayylawgs.
 
And while Biden wants to repeal 230 as well, he won't have a big enough mandate and it'll take a backseat.
I am skeptical about this passing. Sen. Inhofe (R-OK), chair of the Senate Armed Forces committee, said he's going to pass a bill without the Section 230 repeal. The House Democrats aren't playing ball either. So I think the NDAA will pass and either Trump will backdown or he veto it and have it overridden by Congress.

As for Section 230 with President Biden … we'll get there when we get there. If he is going to mess with Section 230, he's probably going to revise it instead repealing outright, and only after a through legislative process.

And if I am wrong, well … so long, take care and keep your stick on the ice.
