I'm not saying he's got a good idea on 230, just he's not as reactionary as people think.

Disagree with you on that point because as soon as Twitter put a disclaimer about his Coronavirus, he immediately reacted with "REPEAL SECTION 230!"

That's MY line. RBG, Trump and now Biden is proof that America needs to stop relying on baby boomers to regulate a 21st century, first world country.

Reminder that Biden also wants to revoke 230, but because "muh hate speech", so we're fucked in November.

Yes. Now that Trump has opened Pandora's Box here every politican is developing their own posion to this, which is what nool feared would happen in the first place. Expect a 'bipartisan' bill in a year or two that actually nukes or guts 230.

Republicans love signaling about how anti-racist they are, so expect a race to the bottom on how many exemptions to 230 protections they can make to own the libs (especially anything to do with criticism of Israel).

Not even anti-racist, they don't even care about racism unless it's to point out their contributions to Blacks in America. Which I'll seemingly support over this "anything and everything is racist" mentality.

I disagree, they virtue signal even when it is politcally negative for them enough that I think they legitimately get upset at being called racist and feel the need to "prove" that they are not instead of just focusing on policy and ignoring it.
 
Man I can't wait to have a billion dollar corp tell me what to say and do on the internet or get raped to death by there "Collectors" when payment for that naughty word I said five years ago comes up. Or have all my votes be online, and for SOME REASON have only the democrat candidate win everytime, or be required to buy a internet pass to use the internet for a week while also paying for internet at home.

I fucking hope this doesn't get nuked, its the only thing holding back corporate shitheads from basically raping the internet.

Yet I saw right wingers and doomers bitching constantly about Trump not doing anything about them getting yeeted off social media for years prior. He's also been autistic about slander and libel laws needing to be strengthened for years. So, did he get triggered or did he jump on the chance he'd been waiting for the retards at Silicon Valley to hand him?
 
The way I see it, REPEAL 230 is Trump’s way of saying that us newfags will probably get the short end of the stick, and we’ll need to find other ways to make sure speech on the Internet is both free and objective. Also, the laws surrounding this seem very vague and cagey at best, but we do need more Cybersecurity, Data Science and IT professionals in our government.

I think the 2020’s will seek a change for new upcoming Presidents to have technological abilities that Washington D.C. has never seen before, but then again I’m being optimistic.

Why wait that long? they'll probably try to fast track it almost immediately. What's another tire to add to the fire that is 2020?

But I fear for the bigger picture: If Trump or Biden does this shit, it'll easily set a precedent that may, and likely will, inspire other countries to follow suit. And we already know the UK Parliament is already jizzing themselves twelve times over due to this.
 
The internet as we knew it has been dying for the past 6 years, it's not coming back we are all on borrowed time. Soon like everything else it will become, cold, sterile, and worthless. On the bright side if orange man nukes the internet TDS will make everyone realize it was a bad idea. If it's joe/kamala every news source would declare it another victory and the common man will see it as a necesary action to keep us safe like the mask or the patriot act.
 
No matter who wins free speech on the internet is fucked. Its only a matter of time before whats happening in Europe and on major sites spreads and becomes government enforced across the entire West(already kinda is). Whether or not the President knows how the internet works is irrelevant, plenty of tech people are full blown in support for going after free expression. It sucks, but maybe under Trump itll hurt silicon valley people.
 
Y'know, I'm usually one of the few people in here that tell everyone else to chill out and stop acting like doomer chimps. But now even I am starting to get worried

Now that I think about it, what was the point of the "Repeal 230!" threat, if it was at minimum expressly for Trump's personal gain? Its repeal ensures the death of any kind of non-advertisement speech, which necessarily includes his bizarro Fireside chats. Making a threat to get it repealed could rattle Big Tech, but how efficacious would it be when they realize that it hurts everyone, including every single politician?
