So, let me get this straight- the president keeps retweeting a Michael Moore original conspiracy, the family of the alleged victim call him out and allege emotional distress so Twitter will put some type of “disclaimer” on tweets where the president is accusing random people of murder. The president freaks out, claims he was “censored” (nobody uses that term correctly) and tweets that he is going to do something, so his aides run around and come up with cut-and-paste nonsense to make the story go away.
Prediction: Facebook, twitter, et al. go forward unchanged.
Many saying that this is just going to launch a “study” into censorship on these platforms. I seriously hope this has more teeth than that.
Hope whervever he goes can handle the traffic!
It is an app and I don’t know how to link I am not tech inclined, I am on an iPad !!
A bunch going to Parler too.

Will that include a boycott by the Executive Branch as well?
I'd be happy to answer your question the moment you show me where Whitmer, Murphy, Wolf, Cuomo, Garcetti, de Blasio get their power to [...] Show me which part of the constitution says they can become tin pot dictators.
The Constitution limits the states, if at all, only through the Supreme Court's "incorporation" interpretation of the 14th Amendment - but that same Court has never ruled that the Bill of Rights limits state authority to declare a quarantine for public health.
Well, I don't think that's been established in court, but it's probably not even important in the case of FB, Twitter and YouTube because every user agrees to the TOS as a condition of using the service.
Section 230 or not someone suing would have to show the company breached their own terms of service. I'm not up on any of the TOS agreements but I'd wager the techs' have protected themselves pretty well.
Doli I was just informed it is spelled Parler so sorry if you Bing it or google it there should be an app to download!!
You quarantine the sick and the infected. You don’t quarantine everybody in entire states, with most of them strong and perfectly healthy, and strip everybody of their inalienable God given rights to live as normal human beings, and put a dictator’s boot on their jugular veins.
Except this had anything to do with a Michael Moore conspiracy theory. It wasn’t even a retweet.
Wanna try again?
It has.
but it's probably not even important in the case of FB, Twitter and YouTube because every user agrees to the TOS
TOS has nothing to do with it. If they lose their 230 no TOS is going to protect them.
The first sentence of Article II, section 1.
Cite?
If they lose their 230 no TOS is going to protect them.
So in addition to stripping their property rights we're eliminating their ability to make a contract?
2. This provision does not allow platforms to remove whatever they wish, however. Courts have held that “otherwise objectionable” does not mean whatever a social media company objects to, but “must, at a minimum, involve or be similar” to obscenity, violence, or harassment. Political viewpoints, no matter how extreme or unpopular, do not fall under this category.
