@NathanLeamerDC You will get neither, and I will not further dignify this weak gamergate-lite nonsense with a response. Go back to being a lobbyist. — PolitiTweet.org

@LiveDoppler This is exactly the case for me -- to jump from 10 to 25 up on my only available rural provider cost me $85 a month more, and the person on the phone said "no one buys that, it's a bad deal" — PolitiTweet.org

@alexpena97 @AjitPaiFCC I assure you they are covering that cost in some way — PolitiTweet.org

And no one said the world would end without net neutrality. Here is exactly what I wrote in 2014 when I said "the internet is fucked" — that a handful of corporations would come to dominate a space with little competition. Look around — was I wrong? https://t.co/zemmKJtN1q https://t.co/XWRUjPjg0k — PolitiTweet.org

So @AjitPaiFCC just retweeted this, even though it is not true. 1. We pay more for slower speeds than most other countries 2. Many states passed net neutrality laws & it's still in court 3. Carriers slowly raising prices to subsidize content; Verizon ain't giving D+ out for free — PolitiTweet.org

The logic of this position is also baffling: by focusing on the propriety of recording, they are conceding that blaming the spread of COVID on "immigrant communities" is a bad thing to do. But then again: racists are usually not very smart — PolitiTweet.org

It is outrageous that Wisconsin GOP lawmakers are trying to make this a story about taping phone calls instead of the racist comments made by the Speaker https://t.co/eiueYqEC44 — PolitiTweet.org

I guess one thing about racists is that they are usually very dumb; this explains why Vos cannot tell the difference between a functional LCD factory and an empty building — PolitiTweet.org

@tjdonegan It basically is the option on the table - make 230 only operable if companies do X, Y, Z the gov demands. That’s the Hawley bill, that’s the Trump order, etc — PolitiTweet.org

@DCPolitics2016 Your position is the government should require social media platforms to allow homophobic and transphobic slurs. Okay. I don’t allow them in my mentions so please move along. — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@DCPolitics2016 So what you want is to say homophobic slurs on Facebook — PolitiTweet.org

There are lots of other good arguments to reform 230 (and whatever nonsense Biden is saying about repealing it) but the goal of the GOP efforts is clear: a national content moderation standard that somehow survives a First Amendment challenge — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

We aren’t saying this enough: 1. The First Amendment bars the GOP from creating speech policies 2. Without 230, social media couldn’t exist 3. So the GOP keeps proposing ways to link 230 to the speech policies it wants in order to end run the First Amendment — PolitiTweet.org

The problem with a social media site that’s friendly to racists is that most people do not want to use a social media site friendly to racists. The best minds in Josh Hawley’s office are working furiously on this problem — PolitiTweet.org
