Posted on 07/29/2020 7:57:52 AM PDT by knighthawk

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and a host of other House conservatives introduced legislation on Wednesday that would block big tech giants from censoring lawful political speech on the Internet.

Reps. Doug Collins (R-GA), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Lance Gooden (R-TX), Steve King (R-IA), Jim Banks (R-IN), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Ted Yoho (R-FL), Tom Tiffany (R-WI), Ron Wright (R-TX), and Gosar introduced the Stop the Censorship Act of 2020, which would revoke big tech companies’ Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act legal immunity if the tech platform were to remove lawful speech on their platform.

The House Republicans’ legislation aligns with recommendations proposed by the Department of Justice.

I dont know about this. Gives me the willys.

But, as usual, the liberal scum have abused privileges to the extent that it allows the feds to get their fingers into it.

I'd sooner they break the bastards up under existing monopoly laws.

By the way. Did you know a train exploded on a key bridge over a lake in downtown Tempe Arizona. It is still burning and there is lots of video. It happened last night and is still burning. Highways, commuter rail and freight lines are all closed as is a major part of downtown. And even though local news has interrupted all programming, you have to google “Tempe, Train Fire” to find it. For some reason nobody wants this news to get out.

So how did I find out about this? The Sydney Australia news had it. Yep, it was major headline news in Sydney, but not even a blip here. Why?

If Trump loses, then the voter rolls will be checked to see who voted for him and they will lose their jobs and be targets for violence because as the great, all-knowing meathead says, “Anyone who votes for Trump is a racist.”

My father is in an assisted living in Riverside CA.

Yesterday we got a call from corporate headquarters in Florida advising us that the facility had a bomb threat.

I googled trying to find news coverage. Google gave me results one to three years old.

So I googled Riverside CA news .not one Riverside news source had any mention.

Media is blatently blacking out local news.

“So how did I find out about this? The Sydney Australia news had it.”

You have to be kidding right? It is all over the local news this morning on the Fox channel. 6 AM when I got up.

I wish you people would quit with your bull shit.

Not on the web. I looked on Foxnews.com and CNN. I could not find it until I specifically searched for it. It is big news in Tempe. All local stations had it. I could not find it on my normal news sources.

It was streaming at 6:35 on the youtube live channels here. Actually, the CBS morning show had the best coverage.
