Twitter's clumsy handling of the Hunter Biden laptop story spurred enough bipartisan criticism to risk the existence of the internet as we know it

"I'm calling on Congress to get rid of special immunity for social media companies and impose much stronger transparency requirements on all of them,"Should Section 230 be repealed, free speech advocates worry the digital landscape would radically change — by forcing website hosts to be held liable for the content posted to their sites, moderators would likely eliminate potential legal risk by drastically limiting what they allow users to post or by shutting down entirely.

"Repealing Section 230 is a drastic step that would upend the internet, punishing successful firms and internet users for the behavior of an antisocial minority," read by Will Duffield, a policy analyst for the think tank Cato Institute."Heaping legal liability on platforms will not render them more thoughtful or judicious. It will cause some to close, and others to exclude all but the most inoffensive sentiments."Subscribe to push notifications

Business insider is hyper-partisan trash. Trash can journalism

Really business insider? seems pretty straightforward to me

thisisinsider You are kidding, right? THIS is your headline? You insult the reader.

Noooooooo.... You didn't ACTUALLY type that out, read it again, and say 'Yeah, this is what I want to send out into the world.'

thisisinsider

thisisinsider Since when being transparent and telling the truth became “clumsy”?!

So clumsy

Have you no shame? Do you understand the premise behind the suppression within this story? Apparently not, your headline here is to distract from the real story. Shame.

new number who dis?

bi looks so clumsy

This tweet is carefully constructed to make mainstream media and big tech mendacity appear falsely reasonable

says the journalist with his 'expert opinions.' lmao.

Can we as a union move forward from dis laptop.

You fake news

Will Twitter Survive?

This headline is such an unnecessary exaggeration of the situation.

thank god. the internet as we know it is sick and we don't want it anymore.

There will be enough bipartisan support for an impeachment, count on it!

The journalist really said “How can we spin this in our favor at all” and went with the first headline he could think of
