They want it both ways.
They want to be a platform when it comes to liability.
They want to be a publisher so they can censor people they hate.
Can’t have it but ways.

Gab actually seems to identify itself as a publisher, and yet it respects free speech more than Twatter does.

This guy sounds more like a Democrat to me.
All this law would do is make a bad situation worse, and increase censorship.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Turn them into utilities.
Not responsbile for content, unable to do anything with content.
Let the users have and use censoring aps to strain it.

This bill forces platforms to make an impossible choice: Either host reprehensible, but First Amendment protected speech, or lose legal protections that allow them to moderate illegal content like human trafficking and violent extremism, said Michael Beckerman, president and CEO of the tech lobbying group the Internet Association.”
Reprehensible in whose opinion? To these libtards, saying Trump is a great guy would be considered reprehensible. Quoting the Holy Bible is reprehensible in their tiny minds. We don’t need a nanny, thanks just the same.

or they’d have to ensure their content seemed politically neutral That does not follow.
All they would have to do would be to *be* politically neutral.
That is a much easier condition to meet.
They simply have to give up their goals of shaping the narrative and thinking of their customers.
They do not want to give up that power.

That shouldnt be a tradeoff.No. Either stop the political censorship on your platforms OR get regulated as publishers since you are in fact controlling content. That should absolutely be the choice Big Tech is put to. What you should not be able to do is enjoy the benefits and protections of being regulated as mere platforms while exercising editorial control - ie exactly what you are doing now.

From what I have heard and seen he wears a white hat.
He is all for free speech, especially as the internet tech-titans have tried to limit conservative and libertarian content.

It seems that twitter, facebook, and youtube are already guilty of violating section Section 230 because they are censoring in a way that violates there immunity under it.
Removing that section would actually make it impossibly dangerous for anyone to speak out at all.

Well, you have it completely wrong, but so far at least, you’re free to say so.
