Just opened the app for the first time in a long time to see what I’m missing, and goodness.

Very little of interest despite them having ~10 years of data on my interests. Very open racism and other bigotry. Bad vibes all around.

0/10 would not recommend.

It’s not the free market of ideas, it’s import substitution industrialization for far right shit. By going back you’re only legitimizing it when the question you should be asking if you care is “how do we get everyone else to realize it’s a funhouse mirror?”

It’s very simple. Genuinely very simple. Until Section 230, it was the case that any website that allowed a user to publish any content of any kind could be sued if they said *anything* libelous or bad. That includes web hosts, blogging platforms, social media etc.

In short - Section 230 as it stands is absolutely core to how the internet functions today, and removing it would generate absolute legal chaos and probably result in the end of all social media, all comment sections and lots of basic internet hosting services. The liability would be insane.

… so they could attempt to claim themselves as carriers, which means no spam removal of any kind, no removal of any hate speech etc. etc. etc. It might also make them liable for the distribution of any IP they didn’t own, rather than the person who posted the content.

… they’d have to premoderate content or massively filter all of it so that nothing even vaguely legally concerning could ever be posted, hence massive chilling effects on free speech or organizations simply turning off their social media functions completely OR (possibly) removing all moderation…

Getting rid of Section 230 would mean effectively that every social media platforms, web host and service that allowed comments would now revert to being a publisher in the older sense, and would be immediately liable for all content posted on their platform, whcih would mean…

Sorry, I should have said he dropped out two years ago. Still, tech is a highly competitive field and I don't see why anyone should expect companies to hire them for technical jobs if they only completed one year of college (possibly with no real technical training).

Assume musk bought off enough politicians he can get away with killing his customers with his shitty beta software.

Yeah, those things are not street-safe. Self-driving technology isn’t good enough and can’t ever be good enough if it’s being beta tested on our streets.

Ideally, yes, or find and buy the thing that, if worse comes to worst, breaks a Tesla window if it catches fire and locks the doors.
