Trump would like the government he leads to pay him billions President Trump is asking the federal government for billions of dollars in damages, putting his own Justice Department on the spot and creating an unprecedented ethical morass.

Frankly, I'm surprised he doesn't just demand that all billionaires turn over their stock shares to him, making him the richest person in the world, and the world's first trillionaire.

(I double-dog dare him to)

There'd be no US bond market. All of us with US bonds wouldn't have them any more. That would eliminate the safest long-term investment option for everyone.

Internationally, that would also hurt the power of the US dollar, further weakening America's influence.

I wonder what percentage of the usual far-right agitators/terrorists are in ICE now.

Like, once this is all over and we've dealt with all the ICE members properly, will there even be anyone left in the Proud Boys, 3%ers, Patriot Front, etc?

I agree. I'd love a simple legal process for challenging lies that doesn't lead to years-long lawsuits.

Like, if someone lies, you can challenge them with evidence, and if they can't back up their lies, they have to issue a retraction.

If they can back it up, it's not a lie, and they can keep it.

It's why we have libel/defamation laws.

Social media companies (and ISPs) don't want to be held to account for what people post using their services, and that's fine. It's what Section 230 is there to protect.

But if they choose to promote certain content, they are not longer just hosts.

If social media companies weren't explicitly pushing specific content, they wouldn't have a problem as they'd be covered by Section 230.

When they pick and choose what to promote, they act like editors at newspapers, which is why newspapers are careful about what they publish.

Yes, for all the *actual* lies promoted by social media companies, he absolutely could.

If the social media companies weren't using algorithms to promote lies, then there wouldn't be a case. But because they make money on 'engagement' they have incentive to.

I'm not calling for a repeal. I'm just calling for the appropriate application of the law.

Section 230 is intended to protect hosts from libel/etc lawsuits when people post things to their platforms.

But if they promote the lies, they then take ownership of them, and should be legally accountable.

How so?

Social media companies hide behind Section 230 and then push propaganda, pretending that all of that propaganda isn't coming from them but rather from the people posting on their site, and thus they aren't running afoul of Section 230's limitations.

If "local police" are going to sit on their hands and do nothing while armed gangs are roaming the streets attacking and murdering people, what's the point of "local police"?

When even their own officers get attacked by these gangs and they won't act, why do we even have them?

I said none of the things argued in that article.

A least one thing:

Actively apply Section 230 the way it was written.

If social media uses algorithms to push stories, they are no longer neutral, and thus should no longer be covered by Section 230 protections.

I hope Americans remember that the entire Republican party is ready to allow WW3 to happen just to avoid having to stand up to Trump.

I wonder what future historians will decide was the start of WW3.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine?
China's invasion of Taiwan?
Trump's invasion of Greenland?
