Hillary Clinton called for the repeal of Section 230 of the (way out of date IMHO - 1996!!) TeleCommunications Act, which protects online platforms from being held liable for users content on social media.

"We should be, in my view, repealing Section 230, which gave early platforms on the internet immunity because they were thought to be just "pass-throughs" and that they shouldn't be judged for the content that is posted," Clinton said "But we now know that that was an overly simple view, that if the platforms, whether it's Facebook or Twitter/X or Instagram or TikTok, whatever they are, if they don't moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control," she continued. "And it's not just the social and psychological affects, it's real life."

Clinton said the social media companies should have their immunity stripped so "guardrails" could be self-imposed WITHOUT regulations as the potential of being sued for third party user content would guarantee this self-serving outcome.

Many free speech advocates are torn by the issues raised. Some have said "This has nothing to do with censorship of either conservative or liberal views. These social media companies are publicly traded, private corporations accountable to their shareholders above all other considerations - that's capitalism. If, as private corporations they choose not to host material they believe to be inflammatory, false or misleading content that unfortunately would create another scenario whereby the private corporations are now the gatekeepers for an increasing number of Americans source of news." Others have stated "However, the imposition of rudimentary "guard rails" would be prudent and the issue of gatekeeping would have to be addressed as a known consequence of putting those guardrails in place.".

by the way, Trump never travelled to Austria.

From this twitter post by Liz Wheeler ranting about men who play video games. do you agree or disagree with her?

Video games are sedentary, consumptive, fantasy steeped in immorality that have serious, negative real world side effects on the men who play them.

4 in 10 American men between the ages of 18-50 play between 1-3 hours of video games every day. That’s… a lot. Maybe a bigger…

According to Tulsi the Biden-Harris administration has placed her on a terrorist watchlist due to speaking out against Harris. Do you think this is true? If it's true is it anti-democratic?

Kamala says she believes in freedom, but I was put on a secret terror watch list after I publicly criticized her. No one will be safe from political retaliation under a Harris administration. I put my life on the line for this country. Now the government calls me a terror threat. pic.twitter.com/3xjgjmrLhD
