230 repeal must have scared them. Trump knows to hit where it hurts.
But still blocking the NY Post’s twitter account.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
[The term alluded to Barbra Streisand, who in 2003 had sued photographer Kenneth Adelman and Pictopia.com for violation of privacy.[7] The US$50 million lawsuit endeavored to remove an aerial photograph of Streisand’s mansion from the publicly available collection of 12,000 California coastline photographs.[2][8][9] Adelman photographed the beachfront property to document coastal erosion as part of the California Coastal Records Project, which was intended to influence government policymakers.[10][11] Before Streisand filed her lawsuit, “Image 3850” had been downloaded from Adelman’s website only six times; two of those downloads were by Streisand’s attorneys.[12] As a result of the case, public knowledge of the picture increased greatly; more than 420,000 people visited the site over the following month.[13] The lawsuit was dismissed and Streisand was ordered to pay Adelman’s legal fees, which amounted to $155,567.[14][15][16]]
Unless they delete the NY Post Biden Article Tweets.
230 all the seditious Silicon Valley Billionaires?
Hasn’t everyone already read the story though?
“And while one would think that someone as sophisticated in manipulating and shaping public opinion as Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg would know all about the Streisand Effect, one would be wrong.”
They’re not sophisticated. They just have gobs of money and power.
HEEEEEEEEEE”S BAAAAACCCCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!
I am also quite sure that their lies to deflect this as Russian disinformation has been decided on and they will pretend that it was those pesky Russkies again trying to hurt poor ole crooked Joe’s pathetic campaign.
No he’s not, apparently. How does someone so humble manage to do that ,,,,post and disappear.
What the hell are you on about?
Textbook example of the Streisand Effect.
How’s that butt hurt working for ya Jack?
Of course all of this means nothing if anti trust regulations are not forth coming to deter this crap in the future. Oh well, we all know what isn’t going to happen.
Yep, enforcing the article 230 provision as a violation could be lethal to their continued existence.

That’s very true.
But Freepers should recognize that one day some wacko Dem President might decide to declare that Free Republic is not covered by the 230 provision.
Like it or not in the case of Twitter and Facebook that article still needs to stay in place. If FR were to lose its 230 coverage George Soros could take the world’s best website down with a few million well placed dollars.
I commend Jack Dorsey for being man enough to reverse policy and allow coverage of all of the news. If only Mark Zuckerberg would do the same thing, I would be pleased. It seems Facebook is a little more rigid though. That is why I deleted my account with them.
Are you thus endorsing the obvious political bias shown by FB and Twitter in banning any political story that does not support their favored politicians?
Lets just assume they have substantiated the story and, have reversed their decision.
