So just found out today, via the net , https://whatissection230.org/ that big media and the government here USA
are trying to repeal this provision regarding the internet use . the above website may give you sone insights about this.
If you enjoy the priviledge of writing your own opinions about anything government or mass media involved .You might look into this and maybe even follow suggestions on the site or not . I have no connection to these people, except I agree with internet freedom. And being able to say so,if I feel something is off. They are trying to repeal this bill. Quietly
The USA is where the internet came from , I believe .
I found it by using the search info W.W.W.whatissection230.org but when I did not put in the WWW. yahoo took me to some irrevolent site about Amazon, which I boycotted sometime ago. If you care? or have any opinions on this please offer it below ?.

this law, if it passes, would basically make a chaperoned internet like what china and Russia and other authoritarian hellholes have, which is suitable only for commerce and nothing else remotely educational.

from the webpage "what is section 230?"
-Free speech is under attack. Trump is suing journalists for unfavorable reporting, investigating companies that have DEI programs, and trying to deport green card holders for protesting against the genocide of Palestinians. Section 230 is a shield against efforts to crush online dissent. But Congress wants to rip it away in the name of fighting Big Tech while refusing to embrace the policies that would actually address the harm caused by these companies. Let’s be clear: Repealing Section 230 would give Trump and his oligarch buddies even more power to censor the Internet and consolidate authoritarian control.

ystarting to think. it is odd that more people had not noticed this thread. This internet was based as close zo free speech as a person could get on the internet .
So are people suggesting on whether , we can complain about bad service or give advise about governmental institutions. So , guess we should perhaps just support the removal of the right to free speech on the net.
Its just a short form for US residents , like for or five lines, name address , and yes or no on support . Its almost like people do not care. How serious of a Police State we maybe facing .It is not right that it gets repealed .
You do not even have to donate. It the "Organizations"website the info goes to , no where else .
Even look it up on the web, away from this site.

I think it's about time we start engaging in civil disobedience. Because this is getting insane. We have to wake up to the fact that we're trying to use legal avenues to fight against a group of people who are completely lawless. If we want to defeat them, we have to be lawless too. Trump and his cronies are counting on us continuing to be law-abiding citizens while he ignores every law in the book.

Also, if Section 230 is repealed, that means we can sue Twitter for allowing Nazis on their platform, and we can sue Truth Social for anything inflammatory that Trump says. We need to remember that Section 230 protects those people as well. It's time to contact some lawyers and pool our money together in preparation for some class action lawsuits.

Also, Elon Musk can be held personally liable for people using Grok to generate CSAM.

freedom of speech typically doesnt apply to private websites and forums like this one. Websites are free to restrict and censor speech and content on the internet because its their business.

I think you're unclear on what Section 230 is. Section 230 says that Internet platforms can't be held personally liable for the content users post on those platforms. So for example, if you're Elon Musk and you provide an AI that can generate images, you can't be held personally responsible if other people decide to use that AI to generate CSAM. Trump wants to get rid of Section 230 because he's a thin-skinned manbaby who wants to be able to force online platforms to ban people who criticize him, which they shouldn't have to do, since as you said they're private companies and they have the right to decide for themselves whom they allow on their platforms. He doesn't seem to realize that without Section 230, other people would be able to legally compel platforms like Twitter and Truth Social to ban him from their platforms. He seems to think it only applies to people saying mean things about him.
