  What was probably going through Musk’s mind making this decision

  Elon Musk: And when I grow old I will make a website where everyone gets to pay to be verified. Everyone will be verified! And when everyone gets verified… (snickers) no one will be.

  I dunno, from the sound of it, a ten year old would be more restrained and mature than you are. Also, don’t you dare bring in autism as an insult. I for one has been diagnosed as autistic longer than I can remember and we don’t exactly have the easiest time trying to be on the same level socially with everyone else. There’s a lot of amazing people with autism that I know and chances are they’re more mature than me and you. The last thing we need here is your dehumanizing ableism, you delusional manchild.

  Chozen, for the sake of brevity, go argue at an empty room. I’m sure that’s the only audience that’ll listen to you. I would say go argue with a goldfish, but even a goldfish would rather die hearing what you say.

  ☝🏻This. I’ve had my disappointments with the party that I’ve spent my whole life with. Especially with the whole Section 230 bullshit a majority are pushing for, a serious problem of members acting like hypothetical moral shills (looking at you Bluthmenthal and Klobachar) and of course the Manchin-Sinema problem. But when push comes to shove, I will always vote for a Democrat. Not just because the two-party system is fundamentally fucked at this point (though I do advocate a semi-parliamentary system with multiple parties and an electoral basis based on census than by arbitrary line work), but because at this point it’s a choice between somewhat stable government and an utterly chaotic campaign based on petty revenge, regressive thinking, and hallucinated logic.

  Deep as a puddle

  The section 230 dilemma between Democrats and Republicans tries to present itself like this moral quandary, when it really isn’t. Both of their arguments are extremely surface level. It’s not a complex debate. It’s just two kids arguing over a stuffed toy. The harder they pull in opposite directions, the greater the tear. And in the end, you don’t end up with a piece of a toy, you just get a toy in tatters.

  O_O

  tf did I just read? No, Mr. Thumb. Moderation isn’t a form of “Anti-White” discrimination. It is simply that, moderation. In fact, moderation is protected by the constitution (I admit I was initially wrong about this, thank you, Mr. Stone for correcting me). You are speaking nonsensical word salads at this point.

  On further retrospect, I may have made a mistake responding the way I did.

  Section 230 doesn’t make it possible for web sites to moderate. That’s taken care of by the First Amendment. Ah yes, the First amendment the protects the freedom of speech, religion, the press…. content moderation. Because the Forefathers must’ve had such insane foresight about the coming of the internet that they created a law that would be enacted 220 years later. In all seriousness, this is a half-truth. The short answer is no, it is only section 230 protects both the content and the moderation of content from liability. The First Amendment enables free speech, expression, press, and religion. It could be used to justify moderation, but that is an assumption. It is Section 230 that makes those two aspects of content and moderation de facto. Take away 230, you turn the Internet into a dysfunctional mess of extremes.
