This is a new one!




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.

This is one reason I don't like him too full of himself, too arrogant.

A president whose only second office is Twitter is that a president? So because Twitter user said something about him then he should be power drunk to abolish constitution just like that bah?

Trump by January Ending as God live you will be in your private home as Ex in America. Leaders like you the world no longer want.

Ok

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

Twitter only focus on verified users with huge followers who can use their influence promoting negative contents, like fake news which Trump is notorious for.

Farki:


That section 230 is a law which protects Internet platforms, most notably social media and chat rooms for being liable legally for the messages their users send. It makes the distinction between a publisher and a platform for example if Punch newspapers sold notebooks and I planned to bomb third mainland bridge and wrote the plans in the notebook Punch wouldn't be legally liable for being an accessory to terrorism. If Punch however wrote an editorial, not a report, an opinion piece and guide on how to bomb the third mainland bridge the operators of the newspaper would be arrested for being accessories to terrorism.

It was debated previously because Trump, for whatever reason best known to him, wanted to scrap it.

The problem here is that now Twitter will be even more strict with their moderation policies and that affects Trump because anything he posts for example "We will destroy North Korea" or endorsement of attacks on public officials can now be blamed on Twitter and be grounds for them to ban him.



To make the long talk short if I plan to commit a crime on nairaland, Seun and the mods can be arrested because they host the site.

shame not only on trump ,but more on those that voted for & believed in him since 2016 , he sees himself as only the perfect one ,even I don't think he believe in God, immediately 2016 presidential election was concluded he shouted foul & fraud before votes were counted , not knowing he would win , and became calm because he won , same is repeating now that he is in control ,he failed woefully to perfect electoral system & now exhibiting nuisance & nonsense putting Americans hard earned integrity into disrepute, in fact if he rewrite America constitution in his remaining 2 months in office he must go to JAIL!

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.

Which 2nd term? grin angry grin

I can only imagine what the comments would have been if these were to be done by Buhari


You don't understand what the Trump is saying:
Publishers vet contents before publishing...
What this means is that publishers can shut you down if they don't agree with you...and in any case a publisher infringes on your right, you can bring a law suit against them....just like the Covington high school kid that was defamed by CNN, ABC, and other big publishers , he got paid millions of dollars in settlement.

If you are a platform, like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and co, normally you don't have the power to vet posts and decide for people what passes as right or wrong...
But in the early days of the platforms, they were facing lots of legal challenges,
The law makers inserted that section in the Constitution granting them immunity from legal suites...
The platforms have since abused this privilege...they now shut down whoever they chose to however they want...nobody has attacked the freedom of speech any more than these platforms...

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
You lots hypocrisy stinks to high heaven.

When Buhari's administration was considering censoring the internet in Nigeria via there hate speech thingy, y'all quick to call him out to what he truly is now Donald Trump is doing almost the same thing and y'all cheering him up.

Anyone supporting Trump on this shouldn’t protest against the social media bills about to be passed. How can we condemn Liar Mumuhad, Adamu Garbage and APC cretins for asking for media censorship but in the same breathe exhault an immoral man child for doing same.

Bro Righteousness, If it were in the days of old, when God used to strike people dead for being idiots, you’d have died a thousand and one deaths by now.

Repent Bro Righteousness...but I fear your soul may be beyond redemption as you’ve used the name of our Lord to perpetuate poorly veiled agendas. I’ll be praying for you.

Don't be foolish. Read and comprehend. Trump isnt censoring the internet in fact he is doing the opposite.

What Trump is doing is to allow users of the internet platform to be able to say what they think they want and not get shut down by the platforms. That is the meaning of free speech .

Trump get abused everyday on Twitter, no problems. But Trump can't say his mind without being flagged. That's double standard, undemocratic and unAmerican.

And this isn't just about Trump thousands of conservatives get shut down daily for no other reason other than having a different opinion

Due to the several misdemeanours by twitter, the president has announced immediate termination of Section 230 of the constitution.


Oga, how can only one person announce d termination of a certain aspect of d constitution of d US? Where have u seen that happen before? Below are Trump's exact words:

"For purposes of National Security, Section 230 must be immediately terminated!!!"


Where in those words suggest that he "announced d termination of section 230" of d American Constitution?

Pls get ur facts right before opening a thread. D English Trump spoke isn't difficult to understand

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.

Most people will rush to comment without understanding the situation deeply.

First, because of section 230, owners of websites or news sites where third parties publish information such as Twitter Facebook etc, are immune to prosecution for what people post on their sites.

But when such sites start auditing third party contributions, they are taking control of third party contributions on their platform and taking responsibility.

So they cannot be censoring and auditing content and still want immunity. The termination of section 230 gives them the control they want to have but at the expense of losing their immunity against prosecution arising from any infringement or defamation by third parties on their site.
