This is incorrect. It about is Google liable for an algorithms they wrote to throw people in to groups & then push unwanted & harmful content on them. I do not like sports. I have NEVER watched or searched for anything related to sports, but Google has decided I'm part of some group that likes sports so it pushes sports videos on me. This is the exact behavior Google has modified their algorithms for years to do this exact thing! I'm say damn right they should be held responsible for creating algorithms that do exactly what they designed them to do, push more unwanted content on people trying to increase engagement. These are videos unrelated to the user's behavior but because of the group Google decides you belong to.

The internet would be completely fine if push content that was not searched for or subscribed to went away. The internet existed fine long before this & will be just fine if unwanted content pushed on people went away!

This has NOTHING to so with Section 230. This is about pushing unwanted content to people based on an algorithm refined over years to perform exactly this way & they don't think they should be responsible for the results of what they wrote. This is wrong! They should be totally liable for the software they wrote creating harm on people!

This is NOT about content hosted or censorship. This is entirely about Google algorithms they wrote pushing content on people who didn't ask for it. Google decided to write these algorithms that perform this way & tweaked them over the years so it got this exact behavior. Google decided to throw people in groups & then push specific content that was not searched for or subscribed to for updates/new releases. Why would it be a problem for this whole concept to simply go away? The internet existed just fine before this garbage & will survive long after pushing unwanted content on people goes away. This will not affect search or subscribing to updates/new content. It is good to stop pushing content on people.

Why not stop pushing content & just let people subscribe to the things they want to know about new content/updates? Why should companies not be responsible for throwing me in some group then pushing content on me that I didn't ask for? Go back to search & subscribing to updates. It won't be the end of the world or the end of the internet. It might be the end of online marketing & ads online but who cares if those go away?!?

The simplest solution to all of this is for companies to stop trying to push content on people & just let people search for it.

Google isn't complaining about 230 or censorship here. They are saying the should not be held responsible for the algorithms they created. This is complete garbage. Google created them & then altered them over the years so they would give these exact results they wanted. The issue is NOT about content searched for but content that Google is pushing on people that they did NOT ask for. Google decided I seem like some group of people & so I should get the same thing others in this group get or watch. I didn't ask for it & often I'm grouped with the wrong people. It is not my problem Google got things wrong that I don't want & push on me. It is Google's choice to try & push more things at me which I don't want. They didn't need to do this they chose to go that route & thus should be held responsible for it.

Notice adding a new policy of we will pay for your abortion and travel expenses to get an abortion, would again be a material change in company policy which is NOT allowed. Twitter is fucked.

It doesn't matter if you removed 1 million spam accounts per day if you are getting 1.3 million new spam accounts per day and don't know that. Also notice they never had any intention of letting Elon Musk look under their dress and prove to Elon Musk & investors that the 5% bot number is valid. Notice "The company said it does not believe a calculation of such accounts could be performed externally because it would require private information" in other words we refuse to reveal the due diligence asked for and you will just have to take us at our word with ZERO proof. Elon Musk did NOT give up his due diligence this is what the contract was about. He can say all day on Twitter he wants to buy and offer a price but until there is a contract for purchase, his Twitter posts mean nothing. The contract for purchase did NOT give up his due diligence and in fact had very specific requirements which Twitter has refused to meet, and Twitter just keeps saying you don't get to see that information, just take us at our word. We would never lie to you. It's not like they have a reason to lie....oh wait they do because if the amount of real users seeing ads on twitter doesn't match what they told advertisers then they are in material breach of their ad contracts and most like have conspired for years to deceive advertisers. Not to mention if they lied in their SEC filings it would make the investors not full informed and the valuation of the company is a lie and they would face investor class action lawsuits and SEC investigations and serious SEC fines. It is not to their advantage to let everyone look under skirts and it is not to their advantage to have their company put under the microscope to see what they have been lying about for years.

Also part of the purchase contract was the Twitter could not make any material changes to the company. They have laid off large amounts of staff and had multiple top executives leave the company. Now you can't tie people to their desks and keep them from leaving but that isn't Elon Musk's problem that is Twitter's problem and the contract they agreed to. So Twitter is fucked, if not on the bot issue, then Twitter is fucked for materially changing the company with issue of employees and Executives and changing policies.

If solar is so awesome and works so great then you don't need any grants or subsidies because it will make financial sense to go solar. The problem with solar is they are only good for about 15-25 years and no one has figured out a good way to recycle used solar panels. You have the same exact problem with wind power. You have to replace the blades and motors every 10-15 years and there is no good way to recycle them. Everyone who invests in solar and wind power has said without the subsidies they don't make any financial sense at all. It is only the subsidies and tax breaks that make them work.

If you look at the actual bill politics and political are not used. I guess it is too hard to actually read the bill for people and instead they just make things up?

Yes a private company can censor anything they want but then they are publisher and lose their 203 protections and are liable for everything they have on their platform because they are now editing what appears on the platform. You can be a newspaper and responsible for what is in the paper or you can be the phone company that lets anyone talk but aren't liable for what they say, but you can't be both.

There is only one type of speech that is banned in the US and it isn't hate speech. The Supreme Court has ruled again and again that hate speech is protected. The only speech that is not protected is a call to violence. "I hope you died soon" is protected, "Someone go kill this guy" is not protected. If you don't live in the US then it wouldn't surprise me that you don't know this because it isn't the same anywhere else in the world.

Who exactly investigated Hunter Biden and put him under oath and questioned him and all his associates and went through his finances with a fine tooth comb to find out where all his money came from and from who and where it all went and why and why he was paid by particular people and what exact services he rendered for the money. Even congress says they were not fully allowed to investigate Hunter and the report they produced has a lot of unanswered questions and the DOJ needs to investigate since only they can bring criminal charges in a case like this. Congress has said point blank that they only scratched the surface and DOJ needs to investigate.

If this happened once maybe it was automated and should be fixed but Twitter and Facebook did it again today on a second story on the same subject with more details about China and blocked it. So Congress has had enough and is issuing subpoenas and they want heads and now Twitter and Facebook will show up and answer questions under oath.Twitter and Facebook were already under anti-trust investigate and this has done nothing to help their case on that front and now Congress is talk about election interference which if they can make it stick would be very very bad for the companies.
