This is long overdue

I see most people don't understand the consequence of that section of the law...Twitter and other big techs can willfully silence opposition voices and no legal action can be taken against them.

Any body with any shred of reasoning knows Twitter is extremely biased and political.
If they must have the power to censor, in which case they decide what is right or wrong, they must also face the consequences when the wrongly flags someone.

Nobody should have the power over what we should say or shouldn't say...that's what dictators do ...
If this is the only thing the president achieves before he leaves office, then he has won one for freedom of speech
What the FVCK are you taking about? If Buhari did this will you say this rubbish? But your lord and saviour trump can do no wrong

Don't be half clever sir... In case you don't understand what that section portrays, let me enlighten you sir.

I will explain it in a simple way for you to understand like ABC...

He is trying to make a owner of the platform to be liable for what is been posted on there platform, it's like me coordinating a terrorist attack via nairaland... And the FG comes after Seun for what I posted on his platform.

Understand now sir?

Yes. If they must tell us what to say and what not to say, then they must liable.

You cannot eat your cake and have it.

You want to censor my post on the one hand, and you don't want to take responsibility for flagging me wrongly.

They even have the balls to factcheck the president. When they over step like they always do, it's only right that people are able to sue them

Twitter has really messed up itself and Disrespected Trump as President!

Twitter turned itself to a leftist media arm!

It's a Welcome Development!!
It's within the Powers of the President!

Dumbass. He has no power to terminate anything.

You are a religious personnel. Stay away from matters of politics that you have no idea of.

That's right! When you start your 2nd term, it is time to cut these left-wing media to size, especially Facebook and Twitter. Then we go after the Big Techs in Silicon Valley pushing Democrat + NWO agenda in the world. Enough is enough, they must be punished for their dirty actions. Send the IRS after the owners of Fake News Democrat media like CNN. Obama did the same thing against Conservative media. Republicans are too docile I swear.

Kindly tell us how Obama went after conservative media.

You people and fake news.

It takes less than 1 hour after Biden is sworn in for him to overturn everything Trump has turned. After all he will be the president also. So game on

If Buhari did the same would you have cheered him on?

Do you support Buhari's Govt trying to pass the hate speech Bill?

Pls answer these two questions sir?

Can an individual, no matter how highly placed, terminate any section(s) of the US constitution without recourse to the Congress?





I need to be educated lawyers in the house.

Thats the most sensible question.

The title of the thread is misleading. Trump is advocating for the section to be terminated, he lacks the powers to do that.

54 days to go, Trump

Chill...
Firstly, we must all understand that the owners of these platforms are becoming more powerful by the day. They can literally take down a government. It isn't about Trump. It's about doing the right thing.

It is only right for these big guys to face a legal suit when they infringe on people's right like they always do .

The irony here is that trump is trying to protect freedom of speech. People should be able to say what they want to say online and no be afraid of their accounts being shut down.

Twitter takes down conservative accounts for no reason. Countless complaints, but they can't do anything about it because of this immunity. Now, they would have to think twice before shutting someone down

Unfortunately for Trump, the law cannot be terminated by executive action. That's the job of the senate/Congress.

I follow trump on twitter, you need to see how people make fun of him under his comment section and call him all manners of names , funny thing is twitter don't get to put those comments in check,

But they will gladly put a ad stating "false claim" at each trump tweet whenever he tweet about electoral fraud. is that not being bias??

All left media hardly report something good about trump, but will be quick to pick out the ones the public "consider offensive".

They wouldn't just let the man be for the whole 4years

Trump cannot unilaterally withdraw a section of a constitution.

Which constitution? Does the whole constitution of the USA reach up to 230 sections?

Because the OP wrongly referred to ordinary law on Internet legislation as constitution, you also ignorantly parroted it.

It is not a constitution, it is just an ordinary law - Communication Act 1934 (as amended in 1996)
