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for social media companies and impose much stronger transparency requirements on all of them,"Should Section 230 be repealed, free speech advocates worry the digital landscape would radically change — by forcing website hosts to be held liable for the content posted to their sites,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

“To risk the existence of the internet” Yeah that’ll never happen.

I suppose they call complete transparency clumsy. How could someone inform the peasants of what really goes on. All msm is a sham of deception. And it's funny they try and make you pay to consume it.

Clumsy or dishonest?

are commy boot lickers

You guys are clumsy at covering up the fact that you’re still on HIS platform + clumsy at covering up the fact that you’re loyal to the government to keep media generalized and suppress the truth

Clumsy? Lol. Exposing unadulterated emails from the employee's emails database is not clumsy in fact. It is very strategic in order to restore the free speech that you guys sold for political favors and money.

😂

'Clumsy'. When the media is part of the problem, and the spin begins.

Clumsy? Someone pushed the wrong button. Nothing to see here.

I don’t think it was clumsy at all.
