Repealing section 230 would be bad for USMB

[AzogtheDefiler]

Imagine this message board being liable for all the crazy things that it's members say. if a liberal falsely says that x or y conservative raped a woman, or hacked a computer system, for instance, USMB would become liable in a defamation lawsuit, and the owners would have no choice but to enforce the rules strictly. This would affect mainly conservatives because most of the crazy things here are told by conservatives.
Members would no longer be able to pretend that Seth Rich was murdered by (insert person here).
So in other words, those who think repealing section 230 would lead to more freedom of speech are wrong, because the result would actually be the opposite.

Only if USMB censored

if it happens blame twitter for not following their own rules,,

If it happens, don't blame the liars, or the people dissemminating false information and lies. It's not YOUR fault that you don't fact check and swallow every lie out of Donald Trump's mouth. Nothing you fools ever do is YOUR fault. It's always the fault of the liberals who call you on your shit. How dare we force you to tell the truth!

great!! a cunuck that thinks her opinion matters to free americans,,

go suck your china dick and leave us alone,,,

Are you trying to convince me that you're "free" and I'm not, because that's not true either. Canada is No. 4 on the Human Freedom Index, while the "free Americans" are 15th.

And then, fool that you are, you bring up China, which is the only word the Trumpbots can spout at the moment. Anybody who criticizes you is working for Bejing. Biden is working for the Chinese. Democrats are working for the Chinese.

CHINA IS THE NEW BENGHAZI!!!!

Seth Rich was murdered by a robber who forgot to take his wallet or watch or cell phone.

Then why did you kill him?

Liable is for things like breech of contract libel is a defamatory statement that is written and the most likely outcome of a repeal of section 230 would be to make social media sites enforce their rules of conduct fairly and equally instead of selectively how they do it now.

The robber didn't "forget", he ran because he didn't mean to kill somebody, and he couldn't afford to get caught tossing the body.

And you know this how?
F'n putz.

I don't know who Seth Rich was murdered by. The only thing I find strange is that his parents are so set on not finding out who whacked him, they sued Fox over it.

Strange indeed.

Why would that happen?

There isn't any $$$ in it for the lawyers. Follow the money.

It would kill free speech on the internet, but Big Tech is already doing that.

They only care because it would hurt Democrats. Conservatives are already being purged.

Goodbye Cruel World
Brad lived in California and was a lifelong environmentalist. He was sick of the world; of Covid-19, Brexit, Russian belligerence, China, global warming, racial tensions, and the rest of the disturbing stories that occupy media headlines.
Brad drove his car into his garage and then sealed every doorway and window as best he could. He got back into his car and wound down all the windows, selected his favorite radio station, started the car and revved it to a slow idle.
Two days later, a worried neighbor peered through his garage window and saw him in the car. She notified the emergency services and they broke in, pulling Brad from the car. A little sip of water and, surprisingly, he was in perfect condition, but his Tesla had a dead battery.
Brad is a registered California Democrat.
I'm sure this is a true story.

No.

There are publishers and platforms. This message board would just have to be a platform, and not a publisher. I don't think repealing 230 is the way to go, only to change it to where it actually makes sense.

Actually, it’s got nothing to do with free speech.

Otherwise, yes, repealing the Section would severely limit internet access.
