YouTube has me blacklisted, so my comments get removed a lot, even mundane things like talking about third party candidates. I've also had to completely disable their spam filtering, because it removes comments people make on my videos, usually from Conservatives.

So, do you support Trump's demand to repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act? Because suppressing comments will happen a lot more often without Section 230 protection. Seems the major platforms are feeling some social responsibility, and have started censoring, even though they have protection. Without this protection it will get a lot worse.

Mhm. What Trump should do is actually enforce section 230 and only apply it to platforms. If YT wants protection: they better act like one.

Why do they have to mess with sec 230 at all? It addressed an issue, now we have a new issue of censorship. Why are people only focused on this one solution? Just make a new law that withholds tax breaks or federal aid to businesses that don't comply with the Free Speech Protection Act or whatever bullshit sounds good. Ofc they'll probably add a whole bunch of nasty shit and pork barrel projects in the unnecessarily long Tommyknockers sized version.
