Here comes the final attempt by the technocrats in silicon valley to kill alternative platforms and take complete control over social media, including video hosting platforms.

If section 230 protection in the US is eliminated, it will be time to bring out the pitch forks, in the US anyway since with 230 gone, you will now be completely ruled over by the oligarchs and it will destroy any hopes that the US has at becoming a viable democracy or even a major player on the global economic stage, i.e., kiss the United States goodbye.

Any morons out there that support censorship, and I do know some people in my circle that fit this description, will need to be made to understand that they have been the Useful Idiots that have been used by fascists to kill free speech.

Agreed. This is a big-tech attempted end-run around the government regulations that could be used to break their lil spirits, and force them to 'play nice'....trying to get the lawmakers to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Section 230 is simply not being enforced properly, and as with most laws and regulations, the government much prefers to make new laws and regulations they have zero intent on enforcing (a diversionary tactic), rather than closing the loopholes and enforcing the already existing laws.
