Rick Scott: Social Media Platforms Will ‘Lose Their Immunity if They Don’t Change’
Breitbart ^ | 6/28/2020 | Ian Hanchett

On Friday’s “Hugh Hewitt Show,” Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) predicted that if large social media platforms “continue to pick and choose,” “do exactly what they’re doing, where they go after conservative sites,” and don’t change their ways and act in a more politically neutral manner, “they’re going to lose their immunity” under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, “It’s just a matter of time.”

Host Hugh Hewitt asked, “Do you believe these large social media platforms ought to have the protections of Section 230, that they ought to be treated as bulletin boards as opposed to publishers? Because I no longer do.”

Both parties are bought and paid for and Big Tech is one of the owners. Only an EO can take away their immunity and both parties would introduce legislation to restore it ASAP. F$%^ing traitors.

Is the clown Hewitt still denigrating his cancer survivor producer? Clueless “Christian” Hugh, a joke is a joke, not an interminable forum joke that gets repeated repeatedly every hour, every broadcast. Screw you Hugh, a once proud listener, now listening to your replacement, Mark Levin, a better man than you ever have been. It pains me to say this but “screw you spewitt Hugh, screw you.”

I’m going to file no fewer than five suits against Twitter on Day 1 if they lose their immunity. Gotta beat the rush.

I deleted my Twitter app just now. Really. I’ll miss the President’s tweets, however. ☹️

Dude, Facebook just doubled down on censorship. Drop the axe if you want to have any hope of winning the election.

Hard to blame just Rick Scott; Trump’s been awfully sluggish on this as well and he’s the one that’s really in the social media’s cross-hairs.

If the Republicans wait too long, the coup will be a success, and there will be no turning back.

The country will be under global Marxist rule before that happens, unfortunately.
