Possibly the death of free speech on the internet

How a Controversial New Sex-Trafficking Law Will Change the Web

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act - Wikipedia

So, section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, basically protected tech companies if a user was doing something illicit on their platform. They're not the ones personally responsible, and they generally moderate their own platform how they see fit.

With the new clause of "knowingly" thrown into the clarification of section 230, it really opens up providers of services on the internet to liability. The article asserts that moderation on platforms and forums will either become non-existant (IE, the platform can't be blamed if they don't moderate at all), or they'll just become draconian and limit free speech to an extreme extent, in order to avoid the liability of "knowing" that a behavior is taking place on the forums.

Personally, I think the latter will happen. It'll be much harder to "prove" you didn't "know" about it, than it will be to just look for keywords and ban posts or articles based on that.

This could go full blown 1984 real fast...

I'm still hoping for the EMP or giant solar flare to fix this for us.

The first and the second amendment are being legislated away and no one gives a damn.

We do.

About a dozen or so. We are a minority in our own country. We are the old guard. I'm not sure we can undo what the education system has done.

As terrible as it would be, it would be a natural selection event and give this country a reset.

I'm not rooting for it but we here would fare way better than the social justice warrior leftist commie freeloaders.

This highlights the concerns of doing away with "Net Neutrality;" it has been assumed for a while and now is clear the tech companies hate our values and especially the 2nd Am.

Now with google, twitter, youtube, etc..., in the driver's seat what other viewpoints are they going to discriminate against?

seen a post on phone today ,, craigslist is stopping personal ad's over this .. WTF how am i gonna sell myself now LMAO ..

So-called net neutrality rules instead gave a false illusion of neutrality online and a false sense of protection. If anything, those rules singlehandedly weakened the free flow of information by empowering the world’s most powerful online companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter to censor speech, filter and manipulate information and abuse the collection of your personal data with absolutely no transparency or accountability. Here is how.

Right. 'cause MS-13, Bloods, Crips, Hells Angels, Pagans, Aryan Brotherhood, Muslim Brotherhood, Nation of Islam, and general MUY street thugs are all noted for their altruistic views, and nuanced views on law enforcement and respect for law abiding citizens. The soi-boi antifa crowd may be our political enemies, but they are the least of the predators.

I agree with this to a point I think you misunderstood my post.

Most or many of those groups you mentioned live by the sword and would die by it in a SHTF. I just was trying to make the point that all the anti 2a SJW types would be the first to go in some sort of catastrophe

Oh, I was agreeing with you, but just trying to point out that the "peacetime" enemies would not be the threat in a true SHTF situation. All the predator groups would initially be ascendant with a whole lot of warlords until "normals" truly got organized. In the meantime a LOT of people would die.
