    We repealed the fairness doctrine; didn’t obliterate Fox News when it was obvious they were party propaganda fraudulently representing themselves; gave social media a license to be neither publisher nor public utility under regulations; and made bribery legal in Citizens United.

      Please, anyone who reads this, stop posting links to the mobile version of Wikipedia. It doesn’t switch automatically on PC, and I see it happen all the time. Just take the half a second to remove the “.m” from the beginning of the link, save everyone else from the pain of having to be surprised by it and taking the time to do it themselves.

      As far as section 230 goes, that is by far the least problematic, and take note how the vast majority of efforts to remove it come from conservatives who appear to me to be annoyed that their views are being called out as harmful or hateful.

        It seems that way but they couldn’t use algorithms the way they do without section 230 to shield them.

        And yeah I didn’t realize it was the mobile link. I’ll keep an eye out for that in the future.

          Yeah, content algorithms aren’t great, but revoking section 230 isn’t the way to solve that.

            I don’t think just repealing it is the answer either. But the way it is written and implemented is absolutely a part of the problem.
