The issue is, when Trump threatened to revoke §230, he was threatening to treat Twitter like a publisher, not a platform. — PolitiTweet.org

I don't know what Twitter would look like if §230 were revoked... Seemingly there would be millions of actionable outrages every day. Massive, seemingly impossible levels of curation and censorship would have to enforced. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
Critics of §230 are correct when they say that Twitter was able to grow into a major platform, in part, by being immune to libel suits. This was also the basis of the "Wild West" nature of social media throughout the 2010s. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
Basically, if the New York Times publishes libel, you can sue them. If someone publishes libel in a reply to one of your tweets, you can't sue Twitter. This is a reasonable law, as it acknowledges a fundamental difference between old and new media. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
§230 of the Decency Act gives tech companies immunity from being sued for libel over comments left on these platforms. It lays the groundwork for treating these companies as neutral platforms, not publishers. — PolitiTweet.org

Times of great tyranny call for leaders of great courage. We are all waiting for the Republican Party to finally realize this.

@Cronikeys @dsa_bill @LeviCoult @urbanartshop If history is a guide, presidents don't prosecute other presidents. The eGrifters are sitting ducks, though. — PolitiTweet.org

But the fact remains, Twitter doesn't ban heads of state from its platform. It's reasonable to speculate that, at this point, Trump has been successful neutered, regardless of whether impeachment goes forward. Jack might have been given the go-ahead. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
Many assume that Twitter banned Trump at the behest of woke millennials on staff—which is a fair assumption and undoubtedly played a role. — PolitiTweet.org

From reports we've heard, Pence overtook Trump's authority in calling in the national guard. Nancy Pelosi has openly talked about preventing Trump from accessing nuclear capabilities, etc. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
Many MAGA people have lamented, "How can Twitter ban Trump, when they allow this or that dictator to tweet freely?" There might actually be more to this rhetorical question... — PolitiTweet.org

@MPlDZjKLfDXN4WN @EasterHareJLP I've seen far leftists, liberals, country-club Republicans *all* parrot the line, "They sullied the sacred hall of our democracy." This did not delegitimize the regime in the slightest. — PolitiTweet.org

@Cronikeys @dsa_bill @LeviCoult @urbanartshop Again, you're not seeing it. Biden won't dwell on it and will act avuncular and forgiving. The federal government will salt the earth. Having the Capitol ransacked is extremely embarrassing. They will not allow the people who organized it to get off. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
@LeviCoult @urbanartshop @Cronikeys You can’t “cover your as legally” against federal prosecutors. I can’t stress how suicidal this was. — PolitiTweet.org

The highest loyalty should be to the lives of those you care about. Showing loyalty to the Titanic is grotesque. Willfully ignoring the ice berg doesn’t make you a “visionary.” — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
Too often “loyalty” serves as a euphemism for stupidity, blindness, or an absence of critical thinking. If you’re on the Titanic, and you see an iceberg, you should warn people, take command of the ship, or at least save your own skin. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
@koko8971 I’ve seen that, too. It might save him—but I doubt it. Right now, people are underestimating the level of intensity that the federal government will prosecute this. You have clearly networked people, throwing cash around, conspiring to commit a major crime. A crackdown is coming. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
@Cronikeys @urbanartshop I agree the “coup” was farcical... But the more that comes out, the more that narrative fades. There was an explicit, determined attempt among leaders to stop the vote in Congress. They didn’t necessary want the outcome they got, but it wasn’t a “spontaneous outburst” either. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
@LeviCoult I don’t have that feeling at all. Examples will be made of them. They’re salting the earth of MAGA atm. If Fuentes didn’t go into the Capitol, maybe he can get off. But the issue is the massive funding swirling around “stop the steal” and how that was used to disrupt Congress. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
Whatever the case, the dominos are going to fall in the coming months... I always despised Nick Fuentes and everything he represents. But even I never wished something like this to happen to him. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
You could say all criminals secretly want to get caught... My sense is that Zoomers can’t separate real-world consequences—in this case, those that come from attacking the government itself—and the “lulz” and “keks” of playing a video game. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer
The “America First” eCelebs will be in prison by the end of the Year. Mark my words. There is a digital trail of funding during the “stop the steal” period. And here Fuentes is bragging about disrupting Congress—not claiming that things got out of hand but establishing intent. — PolitiTweet.org
