Thinking about Gab, which is exactly the platform Trump is asking Twitter to be, but it turns out being that platform means hosting a lot of racist jerks so people won't use it — PolitiTweet.org

I truly love the idea of Twitter infringing on the classical American right to uh tweet — PolitiTweet.org

Here's @russellbrandom pointing out the obvious: Trump fighting with social platforms isn't about any good-faith policy argument. It's about distracting from the dead people. https://t.co/mo9TAeq9tO https://t.co/GWndikOgXh — PolitiTweet.org

RT @gigibsohn: An Executive Order will do nothing to change courts' interpretation of #Section230 or the plain language of the law itself.… — PolitiTweet.org

From yesterday — there will be a lot of noise today about Trump’s EO but remember he’s trying to change both the plain language of Congress and a large body of case law with an executive order, which... usually isn’t good. But anything is possible with today’s GOP. — PolitiTweet.org

It will be AMAZING if the same Trump FCC that removed all oversight and net neutrality regulation from ISPs is asked to proactively moderate speech on social platforms — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

The language of 230 passed by Congress is simple and clear. It has been interpreted by courts to protect platform moderation decisions many times. Trump issuing an order that goes against both those things is comically ineffectual but... this is how tyrants are made — PolitiTweet.org

If this is what it is, it’s even stupider and more ineffective than I expected - but also more dangerous, as Trump signals his willingness to at least try to step on both the courts and Congress with executive orders — PolitiTweet.org

This is excellent, solid reporting and also exactly how the Trump White House makes everyone spin their wheels turning bullshit into reality. Does anyone really believe Trump even knows what the “normal interagency review process” consists of? He just says shit — PolitiTweet.org

This is very good from ⁦@CaseyNewton⁩; one thing I wonder is if the harassment campaign directed at Twitter employees today shifts the internal thinking — if you’re going to get your ass kicked, better to do it because you stood up for your values. https://t.co/0Uo7iHn77O — PolitiTweet.org

At the end of the day, all of the bluster is just to promote the idea that Trump, the most powerful and famous man in the world, is somehow a victim. You don’t have to fall for it! — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

There’s the bluster from Trump and Rubio and Hawley about platform censorship, and then there’s the reality: the platforms themselves have First Amendment rights and every conservative speech lawsuit against them fails. ⁦@thedextriarchy⁩ explains: https://t.co/dkaTzcFBMX — PolitiTweet.org

The inaccurate “platforms not publishers” nonsense has been corrected so many times that Rubio is now trying out “forums not publishers,” which is still wrong but has a different word in it — PolitiTweet.org
