    Apparently, Trump is said to put on an executive order that would essentially remove some of the protections granted to social media companies by a law known as Section 230, which currently stipulates that tech companies not be held liable for content posted by users. Hmm, I agree with that in the sense that all social media platforms should be on the same footing as any other media, and should face lawsuits when users are victims of false allegations. However, Trump is shooting himself in the foot as Twitter is his biggest platform. All of his tweets would then be double- or triple-checked. Go figure.
    When they start "fact checking" posts then they go from being a mere platform which is what Section 230 is meant to protect in this fashion, to being publishers who are in charge of editing. The latter is not covered.

    I'd hate to see it happen because of the long term implications but Twitter, Facebook and the like are almost daring the government to take action here.

      Provide the quote rather than rely on one you made up to prop up your very shaky claim.

        No, you're just drowning in de-nile.

                  Bet ya missed that part..... that's how questions - however dumb they may be - begin.
                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                    Nope, didn't miss it at all. It's still hilarious!

                      Right... "Can we do something like that?" does not mean, "Can we do exactly that?" The word "like" in this context obviously means "similar to".

                      But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man

                        Right, something like inject bleach.

                          How is this context "exculpatory" (snicker)?

                            I believe this is called the "okey-doke", where you know you're being stupid, but you go along with it anyway thinking that maybe it will all work out in the end.

                              • Liberals are weeping and gnashing their teeth over Trump's recent executive order, but it seems there's a lot more to this than meets the eye...
