        They‘re all robbers and thieves without a conscience.

        They all work for the people who give them money to win elections. Republicans work much harder for the rich, that’s why they have been winning elections with accomplished felons, pedos and liars who will do their bidding at all costs.

      In this case it’s not mere spinelessness, they were pushing for this before Trump to server the interests of their corporate masters (copyright lobby mostly, though big tech would also benefit).

        Yes. US democrats are corporate. Not nearly as far to the left as the media would have you believe. I’m not even convinced we have a true left wing.

        Section 230 is supported by the corporate types too since all the big Internet companies would cease to exist without it. This is brain dead boomers not understanding how the Internet works.

          Nah, they don’t give a shit if it’s gone, because they’ll just pay an army of lawyers to make it go away.

          What this does is makes any competition against any established Internet companies impossible for anyone who can’t afford said army of lawyers. That’s why they’re the main driving force behind it. Any new social media startup will swiftly find themselves buried in litigation over the content people post on their site.

          It’s far worse than you think.
