what is section 230

basically when Twiiter and FB flag Trump's tweets..

Under section 230 they could ban his social media accounts once he leaves office

He couldn't take out that "wasteful spending" that was part of his own budget earlier this year, huh?

Remove those funds from the bill and make those stimi checks 4 bands

The republicans will attach the 2k to a bullshyt bill so it won’t pass and they can blame the Dems

Section 230 means that within reason Facebook and Twitter aren't held accountable for stuff their users post. Without it they would be held accountable for anything posted on their sites. It would effectively legislate them out of existence.

Even if they remove S.230, they can add it back in later. Especially if they win GA.

This is why 230 was in the way for him

They don't have to moderate or flag his post. They choose to do so. Ever with section 230 there in immense pressure on both sites to police their content. Trump's beef is he doesn't want them to police his content or anything he agrees with. Repealing section 230 isn't going to help him there at all. All that's gonna do is mean that Facebook and Twitter will be held liable for the content their users post. That means they can't really exist because the lawsuits would become unmanageable.

Of course they "choose to" - he's the President that regularly posted stuff that wouldve violated the twitter accounts you or I have. Twitter and FB allowed him to violate so they began flagging him after users began complaining...

Once he stepped down - they were going to ban him

He can't really legislate moderation of a private site like that. Twitter and Facebook are under no legal obligation to allow him to post there. Like any other private citizen he should have to follow their rules if he wants to use their site.
