A gamechanging event may be in works, something several times worse than 9/11, and they're preparing to suppress information while people are distracted.
"The revocation of a provision in a 1996 law regarding the internet is one of the few things to bring President Donald Trump and likely Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to a consensus, but only slightly.
Both politicians have called for Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 to be revoked; Trump in recent days has called for it to be revoked, and Biden said so earlier this year.
But, the two disagree on why it should be revoked.
Section 230 has been called the most important law for the internet. It provides "interactive computer services" like Facebook and Twitter the ability to moderate content on their platforms that is violent, harassing, "or otherwise objectionable," without the platforms illegally infringing on people's First Amendment right to free speech.
The law also includes a provision that bars sites like Twitter and Facebook from being held liable as publishers for the content posted on their platforms. While a newspaper would be held liable for false information produced and published by them, websites are treated merely as the medium and are not responsible for the content posted on their platforms."
What would happen, if someone on this forum for example would post something libelous VC could be sued for libel. Major platforms would be hit with countless lawsuits.
