The poor are complacent, fed and entertained while the rich live in true luxury and have their every whim catered to.

No bullets are gonna fly, but oh, I wish they fucking did. In minecraft.

I really hope this is just cheeto dick huffing and puffing, and just like his wall, muslim ban and every other ''promise'' ol' zion Don spoonfed his base

Why because it sounds easy to get public support for, sure let's cut defense contractors' funding for a twitter.gov LMAO

Because it would just cost so much to run a Twitter clone, something that dear leader can do on a shoestring budget. China can't make do with being the enemy in front, so they're trying to worm their way behind through subversion.

Besides, nothing cleanses corruption like competition. The gains made just by doing so would enormously outweigh the future costs of not.

It's what I would assume. It'd be similar to the "repeal Obamacare" narrative that was really about amending it and changing the name.

So he's threatening to revoke 230 completely and then proceed to just amend it to make sure the new interpretation that he's asked Barr and the FCC to use will be law.

Whether or not that's the case no longer matters, his actions have put 230 under the spotlight and now everybody wants to repeal it for either sinister or stupid reasons. He has painted a target on the internet's back.

This is why he's a stupid idiot cunt. He fucked us over not for any real reason, but just for a hit of dopamine. This dumb Twitter addict boomer could destroy the Internet as we know it just because he got butthurt. This Twitter addict President is enraged that his pusher denied him a hit. And idiots worshipped this cunt and voted him into office based on his supposed iconoclasm. Meanwhile he is just a fucking lolcow desperate for attention and violently freaking out at anything that threatens that.

The only difference between this lolcow and all the others is that he technically lords over them and the rest of us and hypothetically could screw everyone over with real laws that can have real consequences. But in reality, all he really does is shit himself and sabre-rattle on twitter until he gets what he wants like all the rest.

I mean what worked for North Korea doesn't mean it should work for every situation. And these past few days have been proof of it. I'm not too big on twitter and the way they act toward their users, but the rest of the internet shouldn't suffer for the failings of one website. Not like this, anyway.

This is why making a Twitter clone under a .gov would be the biggest middle finger they could give and I sincerely don't understand why they don't just do that anyway.

Someone will uncover it, report it and everyone involved will be assfucked, especially since deep web sites are prone to either existing for the express purpose of distributing or being the target of planted CP, the former working as a prime precedent to give legitimacy to the latter.

This is not "Let's shimmy out of the way & hide," this is not "Let's comply and survive," this is an extinction level event.

Sounds like commie propaganda to me. "Eat the rich". Soon you'll be screaming "sieze the means of production".

Also, nice reference to nirvana.

You don't have to say in minecraft here. It wasn't too long ago I got #woke and realized the problem is that the lower class empowers all this shit. I've actually seen people defending the trillion dollar school loan debt as "but how will we buy stuff if we don't get good education". Fucking retards.

Illegal sites stay up for years without the people behind them getting caught, though. Silk Road didn't collapse until the owner was a retard and tried to hire a killer.

It's not really that simple to make a clone of twitter.

Many people with the know-how have mouths to feed, friendship networks, and/or ideologies of their own. Who would want to stick their neck out to be the guy who made Twitter for INSERT BOGEYMAN HERE?

Kiwi Farms has it's own "Twitter" type site at https://kiwifarms.cc/
 
I knew I should have specified "including in terms of size." Still, you got me I guess!

Null really is a madman.
 
Doesn't any other country (besides Estonia) have the equivalent of Section 230? If not then I don't see why other countries don't seem to have much trouble hosting websites.

What about Japan, for example?

If government wants a free and open platform they can commission programmers to create their own platform with a .gov in the end and let it run as free as possible. Why must the government nationalize a private company that did well for itself. This is not according to the spirit of freedom to just take hold of property, in fact it sounds socialistic.

>The government can make it's own platform
I know this is an old meme, but don't you remember the Obamacare roll out? The government can't build a website.

Also I'm not talking about nationalization. I just think that, since Twitter and Youtube are so essential for doing certain kinds of things in the modern world and it's basically impossible at this point to create a viable competitor, those companies should be held to a higher expectation than other companies. I can't find a law for it right now, but I'm pretty sure that a utility company (gas, electricity, water) has to give you service as long as you pay them, since normal people shouldn't be expected to just make their own electrical grid or water filtration system.

Yes they can, they've done it with every .gov they've ever published. Obamacare was only such a catastrophe because Obama was retarded enough to let one of his friends do the work of building it instead of hiring a real professional.

Websites should be considered private property, imo, for the simple fact that anyone can buy a domain and make their own website tomorrow.
 
I might be a bit a naive, but I don't think this will pass.

Firstly, the internet is a big business. There's a reason Zoidberg Zuckerberg is a meme, and he's just the first to make it big because of a website. Huge companies own the biggest social media platforms, and they can't let this happen. It's not just kiwifarms, this will fuck everything up. Every politician, every celebrity, basically everyone uses Twitter, that's a huge fucking deal.

Secondly, even tech inept boomers like talking shit online on facebook and shit. Anonymous shit talking truly is what brings the nation together. This was a bad move for Trump just before the election. This combined with his handling of the coronavirus situation, he's fucked. Who will vote for him now? Nobody, I hope. I really think he shot himself in both feet.

Even if it comes to pass, the US legislation doesn't affect the rest of the world. Just like everyone hosts their websites in the US currently, isn't it a possibility to stop doing that? Find a country where there’s still free speech online and host there?
