So you are saying that section 230 shares traits with the Third Reich, and therefore, should not be a concern? Strange... I don't understand you.

I am saying the Third Reich loved to alter omit and redact things. And no Tabitha, being a Nazi is not okay.

I'm going to bed before the wifey falls asleep. She is fun. Later ladies.

In real life, shouting 'fire', when there is none, in a crowded area endangers people. So it is probable that he was referring to a scenario that could be likened to that, though you might not agree with it.
You just posted the quote, that's very clearly not what he was referring to. For someone who "speaks his mind" and "tells it like it is," everything he says sure seems to need a lot of translation from his supporters to become palatable for a mainstream audience.

The article doesn't even say what he is talking about. Lol. The actual sentiment is clearly cut out from the triggering headline. Context is left out.

I gave you the context, and again, it's not a necessary part of the puzzle. You don't even need the full quote to get to the root of what he's saying.

"Somebody will say, ‘oh, freedom of speech, freedom of speech.’ These are foolish people. We have a lot of foolish people. We have a LOT of foolish people."

He's mocking anybody and everybody who believes in freedom of speech. He's mocking the first amendment as "foolish."

Clearly, he is mocking "these people" for specific actions, whom and what the article doesn't refer to. Several times in this thread, I practiced the same method of selectively quoting text, to have people outraged by quoting them out of context. Sure, two wrongs don't make a right, but I was hoping to demonstrate that double standard.

It sounds like you are saying section 230 is akin to Nazi action, so therefore should be revoked, like Trump suggested. But I can never tell with you.

Wifey fell a sleep so here it goes... the main double standard in play is that Trump isn't locked up for doing things that would put anyone else in prison. At least not yet... 10 days....

Yes, and by "these people," he's referring to anyone who brings up the first amendment as a check on his presidential powers. You're attempting to create ambiguity where there is none.

This really shouldn't come as a surprise, this is the same guy who, early in his presidency, even forgot he was supposed to be pro-second amendment. "Take the guns first and go through due process later," he said.

I don't see how that relates to section 230 being similar to the Third Reich. Is section 230 good or bad in your opinion? But if you are going to say that Trump should be locked up for doing things that would put others in prison, is there a precedent?

Tearing down the media until you like what you see is a kin to Nazism. Holding someone responsible for being a hate echo chamber is just responsible.

You are special. Just like Trump said. IDGAF about 230. Parler will be fucked by it. Should be. We'll see how it goes down. People should be held accountable for inciting and participating in a coup attempt. Treason carries the death penalty... 10 days

I don't have to list Trumps criminal offences. You keep asking people to explain over and over when it's been established. Baffle with bullshit. Don't you have some funari to attend to?

That still doesn't answer anything to what we were discussing. You said that section 230 was like the Third Reich. Personally, I see good points and bad points about it.

I think places like gbatemp, twitter, and youtube should be treated as publishers. I think they should be accountable for the content that they host. I also think they should be accountable for removing content that would be, otherwise, a protected form of speach. I'm not sure if I am able to interpret section 230 well enough to understand what it means in relationship to these ideals. But you did make a position about it, it appears. Can you say, for sure, that section 230 is good or bad? It seems like you are flip flopping when confronted.

Yes, and by "these people," he's referring to anyone who brings up the first amendment as a check on his presidential powers.

Xzi filling in the blanks for me doesn't work. Like I said before, people here don't appreciate being quoted out of context--specifically because it allows people to assume the context just as you are doing. You are probably mistaken.

No dude. You ramble on and on and are almost never able to address the issues as they are presented. You called Trump procuring his daily read a form of censorship. That's ridiculous.

Dude. 230 was your discussion. Your issue. I am not flip flopping. That's your thing. Pulling things out of context, also your thing. And I don't care about your opinions, thoughts or wants. That's also your thing. I think, in general, censorship is shit and very...Adolf. But I think if some fuck put a swastika on my house and I didn't remove it I would be responsible, in some way, for anything that occurred because of it. Now stop wagging the dog, confusing the issue and making everything about what you want. Who cares. Your not even an American. You didn't vote. And your prior argument that someone probably stole your identity to for Biden is shit. You are a traffic disruptor. A pure troll. You are the epitome of a Trump supporter. Stop pressing all the elevator buttons little boy. Move on.

Ok. So you were apart of the conversation... and now you are saying that you were never apart of the conversation. Message received.

I do agree with the statement "I think, in general, censorship is shit", but everything else you say tends to be deflective and unaccountable of the words you have already stated. As for my sarcastic remark about my identity being stolen, look at it in context, and see that it wasn't a genuine "argument". You are getting caught up over the wrong things.

You wouldnt even dare show your face around anyone here in person, let alone a pic of your mangina.

You are ridiculous. Trump censors his news. He tries to censor the media and fails. So he goes back to his sad little swiss cheese holed news. Xzi, already said enough. Stop wagging the dog.

I don't need to state things over again cause you can't read or retain what you read 5 posts ago. I don't care what you want. Your just trolling.

Trump "censors" his news the same way someone would "censor" their porn. You are applying the word in a comically ridiculous way.

Someone clearly is being resentful and petty. Is there something you want to get off your chest?
I've already told you how I feel about your trolling! Everyone can just look at your past posts (all of them). And see that all you ever do is troll on here.

I don't agree with a lot of people. Saying something that is annoying to your brain isn't the kind of trolling that I would consider offensive. So, if you are going to say I am trolling, why don't you take the extra step and address "what" I have said and how "how" it is irrelevant, instead of just whining?

It all starts somewhere. And I sort my media myself. I don't have someone do it for me because I can't handle it. Read what his family says about him.
