so, jews are finally coming for section 230 protections. first net neutrality, now this. should be interesting to see how this plays out. either this is the trump admin trying to project a false sense of good faith in order to rally the support of his base (we are nearing election season) by issuing an EO that they know will likely fail against a judicial challenge, or we could actually be witnessing the beginning of the end of section 230 protections.
>…stipulates that any removal or restriction of content outside the scope of being lewd, violent, or otherwise objectionable disqualifies the platform in question from protection under Section 230 (c)...
>…directs all departments and agencies to apply section 230 (c) only according to that interpretation...
soooo nothing really changes then. "objectionable" was always purposefully broad because it can be used to encompass just about anything and there is case law supporting a business's right to deny service to someone based on their political beliefs. so if a social media company finds something that is "objectionable" to them, then it seems like the law is on their side if they chose to remove it and ban the user; which is what has been going on anyway. I don't support it, just pointing it out. but with this rewriting, there will be additional criteria where sites can lose 230 protections, which I'm sure will again expand with the next rewrite.
>…directs the Commerce Department to file a petition with the FCC requesting that it come up with new rules as to what is considered “good faith” under Section 230 (c), especially when actions may be deceptive, pretextual, or inconsistent with terms of service...
should be interesting to see how the FCC redefines "good faith," and if they will expand the requirements that site operators would need to follow in order to maintain 230 protections. furthermore, with regards to terms of service, just change the terms of service to "you grant us the right to remove any of your content or ban your account for any reason that we like" or something to that effect. in that way, all of the platform provider's actions will be consistent with the terms of service.
>…prohibits spending federal taxpayer dollars on advertising on “online platforms that violate free speech principles.”...
well, that means that no platform will be able to accept taxpayer money, because every site from facebook to 8chan removes content and bans users for shit that is is legal under the 1st amendment. thats hilarious.
>…directs the FTC to begin a federal review of unfair or deceptive practices by social media platforms...
i recall the trump admin claiming that they were going to do something similar after trump got elected. I believe they even started a website where people could report that shit.... aaanndd nothing came of it. most people probably forgot about it. but now the FTC is going to basically do what they already did? wtf. another wonderful display of taxpayer's money being wasted. lets see if they can even argue that the fed gov even has the legal authority to enforce whatever enforcement measures they come up, after their review, if they even fully follow through on the review this time.
>…directs the Attorney General to do the same, in consultation with state attorneys general...
again, lets see what type of (if any) penalties they come up with and if they can successfully litigate their right to enforce. this should be funny
>…directs the White House Office of Digital Strategy to collect publicly available information regarding “watch-lists of users based on their interaction with content or users” and “monitoring users based on their activity off the platform.”
....they were already doing this.
zion dons track record has not been the greatest compared to what he campaigned on:
>advocated for more isolationism and less US military intervention in foreign countries
has expanded our presence in Syria, has failed to pull out of Afghanistan, has increased militray aid for pissrael, and he is now trying to fuck with the chinks not only in hong kong but also the south china sea. imagine if china told us we could not fish and drill for oil in the gulf mexico and that hawai'i deserved autonomy form the US.
>advocated for expanded online speech and consumer protections.
FCC repeals net neutrality under trump and he is only now issuing EOs to try and protect speech online, conveniently near election time.
>he advocated for less reliance on foreign workers in america
he has given corporations incentive to hire foreign workers by expanding the numerous work visa programs while supporting legislation such as the Farm Modernization Act that would provide amnesty for many illegal aliens.
>advocated for lower taxes
the opposite has happened for middle class families, many of whom are European Americas.
>advocated for support of "free markets"
under the trump admin, the NY fed reserve has been bailing out failing corporations and wall street financial firms, which is also being managed by a zionist jewish supremacist company that you all know of called Blackrock
I could keep going, but most you are familiar with his failed promises. this jew loving nigger was nothing more than a fucking meme and I'm willing to bet that this EO will either be bullshit to make it look like he actually doing something for his simple minded base, or this is the beginning of the end for section 230 protections for websites.
