The tractor can't climb stairs.

Schools have school boards for local control and home schooling as a backstop to escape government intervention. You soon won't be able to escape presenting your government issued ID to an app to access the internet in the EU. I don't really care as long as identity doesn't leak to government to the service provider, but it will be inescapable without emigrating to a more free nation.

Your point is sneaky/snarky, but valid.  Dump the rain-water on purpose !! If Oman wanted sandy-clay-loam instead of sandy deserts  Sultan Haitham bin Tariq would have bought it 5 years ago ... or 10. Why wait for the flood? But, perhaps Oman does not want to have yeoman farmers bowing to Allah and His gifted wheat crops  ... NOT the Sultan. Money grubbing Western oilmen will kiss the Sultans ass for black gold while hoping  wheat seeds never leave Alberta.

Time to replace herbicides with lasers.

Some sites do have the money: X, Facebook and the like. All the small sites (like Slashdot) don't and would be very likely to shut down.

Without Section 230, sites are more likely to be sued for moderating, not less. Section 230 protects "good faith" moderation.

How many people can afford to sue Trump?

Nothing to do with the merits of the dispute, but the cost of Trump's litigation strategy.

Clear, simple and utterly wrong. Who can report? Anyone? Who gets to decide if it is illegal? How quickly does the platform have to respond.

Look at how the Copyright takedown notices work today. Platforms are flooded with such notices, many of which come from sources unrelated to the copyright holder, or who misrepresent copyright ownership, or who ignore fair use. The result is that lots of items get taken down for bogus reasons.

What makes you think that these will stop if Section 230 is repealed? In fact, what is likely to happen is that this type of "speech" will be the only thing left.

Perhaps you don't really understand Section 230?

Thus showing how stupid some Dems (mostly the "establishment Democrats") are and why the Dems need some new blood.

I wonder why in 2024, 92% (yes, ninety-two) of all power added to the grid worldwide was Wind and Solar, if it has so many disadvantages. And no, this was not mandated by some government. It was people in countries like Kenya or Pakistan buying some solar panels, loading them on their motorcycles and riding to their villages to mount them on roofs to get power independent from the big utilities. That's something you can't do with nuclear or geothermal.

If you want fast and cheap energy added to the grid, go Solar and Wind.

What abut Neal Stephenson? His books are a bit hit-and-miss. Snow Crash I found to be excellent, but Seveneves was just awful -- a waste of time that seemed designed merely to satisfy the author's interest in the physics of whips.

And the concept of artificial hells (Surface Detail).

Iain Bans wrote one of the all-time great first lines in a novel:
"It was the day my grandmother exploded"

Like other SJWs,  you care not for the welfare of people, but for power over their behavior. You're the same limp-dik that wants trannies in girls bathrooms, no matter the teen ladies hate it, you just want the power ...

Yes.

Let's be clear on the purpose of this campaign: Trump and the GOP have got control of the big platforms. Those big platforms can withstand the loss of Section 230.

Repealing Section 230 would result in thousands (millions?) of small platforms shutting down. Those big platforms don't want the competition and some (all?) of the GOP is on board with this, now that they control the big platforms.

Many countries had/have a state religion. Arab states  required Islamic teaching to all students -- even women --- while Brits DID require Anglican before OxBridge wimpwists took power, and Russia ... well 1st it's the Czar then Stalin no difference. Now the ol' USA chose the "golden calf" as their gawdhead, corn whisky /whales/ coal/oil were the incense. But, since Silicon Valley took over we've nothing left, but bits & bytes. All controlled by a  single massive computer stack that even the universities  worship. All hail the LLM ... may the nekbearded angelic hosts surround it and keep track of hallucinations that malloc didn't anticipate.
