The leftist Big Tech overlords may finally face a day of reckoning as the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge to the Section 230 law that governs how tech platforms moderate free speech.
SCOTUSblog tweeted Oct. 3 that SCOTUS granted a writ of certiorari to Gonzalez v. Google, “involving the scope of tech companies' immunity under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.” USA Today summarized that the case will have “potentially enormous consequences for social media.” It is the “court’s first test of the broad immunity social media companies have enjoyed under a provision known as Section 230, part of the 1996 Communications Decency Act,” Bloomberg News stated.

How many women has Laz defamed? By my count, he hasn't identified a single one he wouldn't hit.
Roberts is on our side on this one.
Fair.
You sound like an idiot who would cheer telecommunication companies monitoring and dropping Americans's phone calls if they spoke the wrongthink. Mark my words, the voice recognition and artificial intelligence technology already exists to do it tomorrow.
Say goodbye to the 1st Amendment.
Facebook and Twitter are NOT telecommunication companies.
Get a clue and quit siding with the fascist Left.
You are like talking to a wall.
Take a couple of valium, go to bed, and DON’T call me in the morning.
I obviously will not get anywhere with you.
In the meantime, keep stoking the Leftist b#llsh#t.
“Just remember, Section 230 is what keeps FR possible.”
I suspect that the Supreme Court can distinguish between bulk sites with millions or billions of users and ‘boutique’ sites, like FR, and will write their opinion to clearly respect that difference.
In any case, it’s completely INTOLERABLE living in Soviet-Style country where the government controls, either directly or with collusion from big tech, virtually everything that 80% (or more) of the country knows about the rest of the world.
That has to end, and hopefully the Supreme Court will do just that.
“but denying conservatives the same level of connectivity as liberals on a social media platform especially during elections reeks of illegality.”
Absolutely ILLEGAL. No different than the phone company (which is also a ‘private’ company) shutting off the phones to the Reagan Campaign in 1980. Whether or not they wanted to do it, they knew it was illegal as hell.
“Say goodbye to the 1st Amendment.”
First Amendment was gone once Facebook SILENCED Trump, and before that when the entire media got away with flat-out lying that Trump ‘colluded’ with Russia.
The First Amendment was nice while all sides tried to play by the rules, but it wasn’t designed to handle today’s Democrats controlling the media - it never had a chance.
I know you are a paid democrat shill but could you please say something truthful once in a while?
Just to make it interesting.
Do you have the mentality of a cheese-eating surrender monkey. Go to DU.
You’re initial uncalled-for nasty response to me was stupid and you’ve gone from dumb to dumber.
So far, you’ve got nothing affirmative to offer. What are you some kind of Leftist plant here?
Go away and don’t never come back.
Jeb! Is that you?
Let's see, is that when you completely went off the rails?
You're long on stupid and short on actual substance.
Hey, I thought I told you to go take a couple of valium, go to bed, and DON'T come back.
Get lost Dork.
You are a sad, little bottom-boy who takes it up the backside from communists and who loves it. Get help.
Jim W N, did I hurt your cowardly feelings?
You nailed it.
