I believe the Section 230 repeal is a very serious attempt for one simple reason: Gaza
US politicians are desperate to control the free flow of information online after the role social media played in activism around the genocide
The status quo on Israel has been threatened, senators are scared

Also: when studios can and will cancel your projects before they're finished at a moment's notice without consequences, there simply NEEDS to be clauses that will revert rights back to the creator in that scenario.
Studios have gotten away with outright theft of artists' work for far too long.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

It needs to be treated as importantly as "no animals were harmed during the making of this film"
Because yeah, for a time? Animals got harmed and people accepted it as a part of the process. And it was wrong.
So is this, and it needs to stop.

There are thousands of survivors who are still alive today who gave first hand testimony of being raped and physically abused as children.
It's not "just asking questions" to call thousands of survivors of abuse liars. You're attempting to normalize child abuse and should be shamed

While Canada’s residential school era has become a key piece of our national identity, there has been an eruption of late of what some academics call denialism.
That eruption & efforts to counter it, is the focus of the new episode of APTN Investigates:
