So forums are a type of social media, right? BB.com better choose if it's a platform or content creator. The admin's will have to work over time to delete 95% of the misc for all it's lulz and trolling posts.

Rip Misc

You're seriously stupid if that's your take, son

That's how it works.

as always your child in chief without thinking, forced WH to comeup with a BS plan so he can say he did something... LMFAO!

White House sources tell Yahoo News that the office of Vice President Mike Pence, National Economic Council Chairman Larry Kudlow and others are making the argument that it will set a bad precedent to signal that the federal government can go after private companies and seek to penalize them for purely political reasons.

“There is pushback from a lot of people” inside the White House, an administration official told Yahoo News, saying there is “a lot of frustration” among advisers who are often some of the president’s most loyal backers.

"anonymous sources say"

Haven't you been wrong enough in the passed few years?

I know you're a turk and not too bright but come on kid.

I think the Misc will have to go away completely. Yeah, and maybe all of BB.com. The way this could be read is that any site that has moderators could be sued.

Goodbye my friend!

They need to do something similar to Amazon. While brick and mortar stores are liable for the quality and authenticity of goods sold, Amazon and other online vendors somehow are not.

What a silly idea. If a shop sells you a chitty product, you take it up with the shop, not the mall the shop is located in

[rectifryer]

This will fundamentally change the internet for the better.

trump hates freedom of speech

[ksorangeus]

Twitter needs to be shut down for treason.

conservatives hate freedom of speech

[ksorangeus]

It's really well written.

Essentially the gist of it is..

Currently sites like Twitter are protected by a law that prevents them from being liable in the event one of there users says something defaming or illegal.

The thing about this is that law was designed for platforms and not content creators.

Once they pick and choose what to show and not show based on there opinions, they go from platform to editorial (content creator)

By doing so they give up there right to be protected against defamation lawsuits.

So essentially if twitter wants to keep censoring people they disagree with they will lose all shielding from litigation.

go fuk yourself ass hole

[kingmanaverage]

Wouldn't this law apply to bodybuilding.com too?

Not sure why this would necessarily be a good thing if you look at it from a wider perspective.

It will invariably have the opposite of the intended effect and lead to greater censorship, rather than less censorship.

[NitrogenWidget]

Go ahead, explain it.

Too bad Twitter are too pussy to just ban his ass.

you are coming unraveled son!
why so angry son?

I mean sheeet. 15,966 posts already?
I guess when you are a looser with no life and post till the wee hrs of the night it's expected.

That's not how this works but you are too low IQ to comprehend any of this.

No, BB.com doesn't get the same protections as Youtube, Twitter and ********.

you realize this means they have to ban trump or risk the people he lies about and incites violence towards suing twitter?

If you and they want to go that route. The solution for them is to further limit the content on the site to exclude idiots like trump.

I'm surprised no one really brought this up yet, but what about the 2018 ruling forcing Trump to unblock people on twitter he blocked, specifically because its a "designated public forum" and blocking people violates their "free speech".

With this ruling in hand as case law, how can it be possible for Twitter to censor Trump's tweets then? Or more specifically, how would the left reconcile these two positions?

[ItsWhatIDo]

So what is going to stop terrorists from using the platforms to gain followers if they can’t be censored?

Fact checking is not censoring.

[BuckNakedinBama]

Fact checking is not censoring.

Sure it is.

If you say the sky is blue, but I want people to think it is green, I can "fact check" you and say you're wrong.

You mean like antifa?

[z4v4]

Sure it is.

Ergo, the business has the right to tell you to **** off.

[jlick]

you liberals have lost it. Twitter (and other social media platforms) have been censuring conservative voice for years now. At this point, they aren't even trying to hide it anymore. This will do more harm to twitter than anything else. One Trump leaves twitter, their stock will go to ****. It's already been a ****ty, horrible place for a while.

I don't use social media at all,but they had to do something after 2016 and the analysis done by experts.
it just can't be a free for all, better yet create a conservative version of twitter

They might have been censuring conservatives, but they never censored them. There is a difference, son.

How is that censoring? They're not deleting the posts, just pointing out where it's wrong. A big part of the issue with the alt-right alternate reality bubble is that it has conditioned people to believe that facts are incorrect and created a backlash against fact checkers. They're not.

The best solution would be for Twitter to fact check every post from everybody that is factually incorrect, but that would not placate the alt-right because the percentage of incorrect statements is far higher and they've already started a backlash against fact checkers, so they would still cry unfair.

is this a serious post?
