    I see your angle now, I don’t think it would need to be more mass surveillance than it already is, but understand why enthusiasm for these hearings could be damped by that waryness.

      We don’t need ‘slightly more’ or ‘the same amount’ of mass surveillance, we need drastically less.

      More to the point, there’s no actual guarantee that repealing section 230 will have it actually be replaced by anything, which would effectively kill free speech on the internet, if not actually kill the internet itself.

        if these platforms are not reigned (might as well spell it like that given their regning attitude) reined in, the internet will die anyway…just a few walled fiefdoms that will dominate all markets and public spheres in the world.

          … You’re literally on lemmy right now. That’s as anti-walled garden fiefdom as you can get.
