-184K dead Americans from COVID-19
-racial injustice continues to plague our nation
-Kyle Rittenhouse MURDERED two people and both our president and the GOP refuse to condemn his acts.
-the democratic process is being tampered with
But rather than putting out these massive fires, our government is fanning the flames. #Section230 shouldn't be anywhere near top of mind.
Why our elected leaders are actively working to fray that thread is truly beyond me. But here we are, wasting time and taxpayer money to protect what should be guaranteed.
Some continue to enjoy life's most precious milestones (like weddings)
Some have even been able to make their final goodbyes.

We love to hate Amazon, and reasonably so. But these days, you can't beat contactless convenience.

At the same time (c)(2) isn't superfluous.
Courts would still reach the same decisions as they would under (c)(1) or 1A. But at a higher overall cost.

That was literally the ENTIRE POINT.
"In short, the term “otherwise objectionable” envisions problematic content that may not be illegal but nevertheless violates community standards or norms, sometimes described as “lawful but awful.”"

Again, I invite you to imagine if they weren't. How many times have you ever commented on or quote tweeted someone else's content?
The Trump executive order was a consequence of Twitter's attempt to fact check Trump's false tweets about mail-in ballots.
(Spoiler, it's not about protecting democracy or free-speech. It's all about advancing corruption).
Anyone (or any company) supporting these guidelines automatically goes down as another Trump enabler in my book.
