For those that don't know.

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which was passed in 1996, says an "interactive computer service" can't be treated as the publisher or speaker of third-party content. This protects websites from lawsuits if a user posts something illegal, although there are exceptions for pirated and prostitution-related material

Meaning, the content we post on the internet will be heavily restricted. Very company would have to censor everything from speech, to negative product comments at the risk of being sued. Cloudfare would also have to reveal the provider of these site.

Wow, multi-millionares denying $2000 dollars in aid to people who desperately need it. Not surprising tho, I've heard McConnell described as the gravedigger of democracy before. Things like this prove there is no god for me.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I really hope Section 230 doesn't get repealed. I'd even take not getting $2000 but that's probably just me being selfish.

Have some more bad news... This made me actually lol for once.

I'm not shocked, there's always some caveat with government assistance. Everytime they offer help my butthole puckers up cause I know I'm about to get fucked.

Yeah, I wonder if we'll have to pay taxes on that one-time $1200. It seems like any sort of assistance we get in this stupid country ends up fucking us over anyway

TBH it was much more appalling to allow PUA to lapse for half a year, but this induces more of a visceral reaction for most people. It will be interesting to see how it affects the Georgia runoffs.
