WTF are you taking about? We talked about Hunter Biden 24/7 ...


for months. Are you saying Hunter Biden is some hidden story? Hell, blame FOX News for losing their only documents regarding Hunter Biden through the mail.

Do you understand the potential consequences eliminating Section 230? You might even have more censorship as social platform are liable for anonymous users spewing lies ... case in point, this very board. Costs will rise as well. Do we need a rational discussion about regulating the internet / social platforms? YES. However, stop pushing Trump's impetuous whining about big tech because they called him out for his lies. He doesn't understand consequences. He just does things without ever thinking.

Free speech is incredibly important. However, you can claim baseless lies that ultimately hurt people. That has nothing to do with the 1st Amendment. Hell, the media let Trump spew lies for almost 4 years without a filter ... and he was never held liable. He yelled FAKE NEWS on every negative report about him and no news outlet censored that bullshit.

If you want to talk about regulating the internet, I'm game. However, please spare me the 1st amendment bullshit.
