@RichardStevenH2 Neo-Nazis already run their own instance of Mastodon. It’s called Gab. The flagship Mastodon instance, https://t.co/wDm44hqNhn, blocks nazis, and Gab invites them. This is all well within the bounds of free speech — PolitiTweet.org

@matthewstoller @ggreenwald It’s true. But repealing 230 would crush online free speech, ensure the tech giants like Facebook are the only ones who can afford to stay in social media, and I think likely still facilitate genocide — PolitiTweet.org

@ggreenwald @matthewstoller Without 230, the victims’ families could sue FB for being an accessory to the murders, since the fascist event he attended was organized on FB. The point is, FB would likely remove their Groups feature rather than deal with the massive legal liability — PolitiTweet.org

@ggreenwald @matthewstoller WHO/Fauci don’t have prominent accounts posting widely-shared lies that are getting people killed, though. Another example: Kyle Rittenhouse murdered antiracists in Kenosha after joining a racist militia FB group that organized the event. Is FB liable? — PolitiTweet.org

@ggreenwald @matthewstoller It's a real problem. Trump's reckless COVID-19 lies/misinfo in tweets and FB posts have arguably lead to countless preventable deaths. So has hate speech. I'm just not convinced throwing out free speech on the internet is the answer. Maybe §230 reform, but not repealing — PolitiTweet.org

@ggreenwald @matthewstoller Facebook suing Substack is just an example. We’d also see companies suing Amazon and Yelp to remove negative reviews, individuals suing blogs to remove comments they don’t like, millions of suits against social media companies to censor what they don’t like, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

@matthewstoller Without 230, Facebook (or anyone) could sue Substack (or any website) for defamation (or other things) related to user content. You seem to think Substack would invest in the expensive lawyers necessary to defend against Facebook instead of just deleting the post. That’s absurd — PolitiTweet.org

@matthewstoller How do you interpret “don’t repeal this important law” as “let’s get rid of law”? You might want to learn why Section 230 was passed to begin with. Here is a good overview https://t.co/qpvzNFP2TX — PolitiTweet.org

@RichardStevenH2 I don't think that's a good idea. Do you think individual Mastodon instances that don't want neo-Nazis in their community should be have legal risk for banning them? Do you think blogs should have legal risk for moderating comments? — PolitiTweet.org

@nambulous This only says she was sent to psych eval because the police and her lawyer thought she was having a mental health crisis. It doesn't say why they believed that.

@ErickTweets110 Yes, Section 230 says that companies are not liable for content generated by their users. E.g. without 230, if you run a blog and I think someone posted a comment on it that slanders me, I can sue you, even if you have nothing to do with that comment — PolitiTweet.org
