re: Why are so many people on here saying it is “bad politics” to go after social media?

I don't necessarily disagree with you about 230 tbh. I just favor user-patrolled community groups.

Personally, I think the whole idea that this is related to Trump is a concoction anyway.

Twitter and Facebook have been headed this way for years. And, to be blunt, they're doing it at the behest of the left. Which honestly, is sad.

The left used to claim to value free flow of ideas and speech. It was pretty much an absolute for them.

I'm old enough to remember being conservative but not liking the "book burning" wing of the conservative movement. Old enough to remember looking upon the left as my allies on valuing free speech.

Today, the right has largely figured it out, and the left has COMPLETELY ABANDONED the idea.

I never moved.
