Repealing section 230 would be bad for USMB

[pyetro]

Imagine this message board being liable for all the crazy things that it's members say. if a liberal falsely says that x or y conservative raped a woman, or hacked a computer system, for instance, USMB would become liable in a defamation lawsuit, and the owners would have no choice but to enforce the rules strictly. This would affect mainly conservatives because most of the crazy things here are told by conservatives.
Members would no longer be able to pretend that Seth Rich was murdered by (insert person here).
So in other words, those who think repealing section 230 would lead to more freedom of speech are wrong, because the result would actually be the opposite.

I don't know who Seth Rich was murdered by. The only thing I find strange is that his parents are so set on not finding out who whacked him, they sued Fox over it.

Seth Rich was murdered by a robber who forgot to take his wallet or watch or cell phone.

If it happens, don't blame the liars, or the people dissemminating false information and lies. It's not YOUR fault that you don't fact check and swallow every lie out of Donald Trump's mouth. Nothing you fools ever do is YOUR fault. It's always the fault of the liberals who call you on your shit. How dare we force you to tell the truth!

The robber didn't "forget", he ran because he didn't mean to kill somebody, and he couldn't afford to get caught tossing the body.

 

[Toro]

Of course it would. It would probably shut down.

Look at all the Trump loons who have been threatening violence for the past several years. At the very least, they'd have to go. And all there'd be are me, Mac, rightwinger, and some crazy Russian bots posting here.

What I find unusual is that the police department has a list of knuckleheads, the Usual Suspects, who can be brought in to be sweated about it. The world in the middle of the night is a less crowded place, it isn't that difficult to narrow down the list of desperadoes to find the "botched robbers" that are said to have committed this.

You promote that in the 21st Century that people have evolved. You are crazy. You are massive murderers.

Sounds like something a Klinton asset might do

Because repealing section 230 would make companies liable for what anyone says in their platform.
Do you think Twitter is the only company in the United States where people say things?

 

[KissMy]

Every message board would be shut down. Twitter & Facebook could only discuss love, rainbows, & unicorns.

Exactly. Do you want usmb to be liable for what the Clinton asset says?

That's one theory. But one which doesn't hold much water. Thuggerinos who go around with loaded guns robbing people are knucklehead desperadoes. They need the money for a fix or crack or a joint or a fifth of popularly priced vodka. They aren't afraid to take a risk.

It would kill free speech on the internet, but Big Tech is already doing that.

Maybe they'll need to moderate content without political bias?

Seth Rich was killed at the orders of Hillary Clinton.

Sue me.
