It's quite embarrassing that a man like trump can become the president of the USA

Do you really understand what section 230 is all about? Or you just want to partake in the conversation to appear learned?

omenka:
The same people who praise him to high havens and never see anything wrong with his actions are those who think in a super multifaceted society like ours, and its volatility, no moderation should be placed on social media by government.

I guess this action by the president of the worlds biggest democracy amounts to promoting social media freedom.

Smh.

Imagine what would have been buzzing now had an action similar to this been taken by the Nigerian government. Imagine it.

This is not exactly the right interpretation. Read it up well.

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.

justli:
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

Broa, all wetin you de talk na from the angle wey you stand. Somebody else would view it differently, and stand directly opposite ur views. Trump is not presidential, more so for a Nation as U.S. If he were an African, particularly Nigerian, I would compare him to the likes if mc oluomo. The guy is going down in history as the worst president ever in U.S history.

Righteousness89:
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!

But why has your god failed his only begotten son Donald J Trump

But you haven't refuted me. He may have been wrong in other things but not this one.
Clearly he is fighting for your write to say what you believe in without fear of being shut down

ajebuter:


Before this, they had

#BunkerDon
#Bunkerbitch
#GrifterDon
#WhinnyDon
#LyingDon

And they would write that as replies to him right on his page..
It seems finally the insults are getting to him because even me, when I have nothing to do , I simply go to Trump's Twitter handle to read insults sent to him as replies ..

Those Americans, especially one guy called Jeff Tiedrick eh! ( that guy get mad insults I swear)
They make it their life duty to troll Trump and he couldn't even block anybody..

Jeff Tiedrich
Bishop Talbert Swan
Mrs Krassentien

Na them be that

longetivity:
why is Trump like this

......... because he is a clone of Buhari, another clueless person who blames everyone for his failure.

Keep imaging. BMC miscreant.

Simplyleo:
I know his illiterate ipob subjects will start explaining how Trump is as perfect in all his policies.

As far as ipob miscreants are concerned, trump is actually the unfailing god.

Ipob miscreants are illiterates.

Is Buhari also an IPOB miscreant and illiterate

900warriorz:
Abeg, who understand the news should come and summarize for us

Trump is dumb.
It means that Twitter can be sued by just anybody for whatever a 3rd party post or tweets on the platform. This would apply to all internets boards and social networks and not just twitter. It's basically what one can expect in a country ruled by a despot or dictator.

However, he is only suggesting and has no power to implement such act.

If such was applied in Nigeria, what Seun has below in the attached picture will simply be useless and social media would be forced to shut down. Seun would be held responsible for what every Tom, Dick and Harry posts on Nairaland.

Thank God for a strong male presence. When a male lion is in the pride hyena know to stay far.

You see no one messed with America during trump reign. Those terrorist were silent.


He even mussle china for jobs for his people. Mumu blacks have record unemployment low. Still did not appreciate. Will rather wallow in self pity and wait for pity hugs from democrats. Agreeability is a wrong. Not everyone who disagree with you is your enemy.

But anyhow The man is indeed the greatest since Lincoln.

I wonder if not for this natural disasters. I repeat natural" disaster How the economy would have been. Even with it pandemic the economy was still bubbling.


Mumu Nigerians go comment because them think say he easy. Only tail weh the cow take touch them, them never still fit recover.

Recession today and always since pandemic. But them go call trump Mumu. Someone that build empire and run a country Of that complexity. Wereas them poultry never commot ground since it start.

Those Mumu feminist want us to believe he is sexist. But you only have to look at his pick for white house press secretary Kayleigh McEnany to know no one come this far build this much without being not just a good but sound judge of characters. Gender inconsequential.

Only strong men like Putin respect trump. They know it's not easy to stand alone and be your own person.

My respect Trump. My respect!

Odoctor:
I have long noticed this from twitter. It is obvious these big tech companies have power. Let these powers be channelled appropriately please.

There is yellow fever in Nigeria. The vaccine is every where. The vaccine is free, or almost free.

So why are you not vaccinated yet?

Take your health serious pls.

Oya say this: " After reading this ODOCTOR update, Im getting vaccinated today"
Health is priceless. Do not jeopardize yours!
Good morning

Nothing free comes from any Government. There is always a hook. Check the free vaccine very well, and you will see a heavy price to pay indirectly.

This is the Age of NanoChips.

When Liar Mohammed proposed something similar. I am sure you were one of those that called for his head.

salford:

I never called for his head I support. Am not one who because they think he lies all the time he can ever make sense. Many of you are one directional with thinking. When the picture of the nysc boy was added to the list of people shot by soldiers..later debunked as false how many of you retracted your comments and apologise for falsehood. That news alone could have spawn more hate. It's all about maintaining the peace. But all of una de form like say una get heart for system collapse. Yet go call una love ones to make sure they are inside house and safe.

Regulating is not a bad thing. They are abusing the space. Government regulates everything they can.

Too much freedom is bondage.

When Trump is done with them they will know it's the president that runs the world not them.

If you are obviouse with partisan. Then welcome to politics.

toprealman:

Somethings are best left to those well prepared to handle it. Trump is built for the street......nowhere else.

Bros, you de reason. Oil de your head, unlike simplyleo, omenka and their fellow BMC miscreants.

Read up the thread I believe justli explained it good enough.

Farki:

bendike:

Does chanting ipob or igbo make your prick stand? Were you told it is a cure for impotency?

People are just going gaga on this platform without moderation by the modes... Their rules is just dormant without usage, the amount of foul language here is unprecedented.

He doesn’t even have the power to do that. He is going through the stages of grief.

ebenice:
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

Seriously? Which kin bias? Are comparing the Potus with any other twitter user?

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I would have thought the president of the White House should be of a higher moral pedestal than other user.

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

There you have it.

Noemic:

Sorry but what he said is completely out of touch with what the law is about and is only complaining because Trump is affected. I have explained this before here.

Farki:


The bill is stupid because then Twitter is being punished for what the users said. If you have a problem take it up with the user.

Would you sue a paper company for the words of a book writing slander against you?

How will this work when a large number of users are bots or troll accounts?

This law doesn't just affect twitter but EVERY American social media site. If you want every webpage to be a static collection of curated posts because the hosts don't want to break the rules you're welcome to support Trump here.

justli:



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

Keep quiet abeg. Your shouting hypocrisy has been exposed.

Rubbish!
Do you know the damage this your Trump has done to the American Democracy of Over 220years,including labelling the Press -which is the Fourth Estate of Realm in a viral Democracy and Mr Trump hate the Press!
If not that the American have strong Institutions to checkmate a rabble-rousers of a President like this,the American nation would have gone beyond.
A big lesson is that Trump was planted as a mole by the Russian and he thought he could continue doing their bidden for another 4-yrs,but Americans are clever people! Note also that it is easy to destroy such huge Democracy when you have bad leaders!

Complaining?
The complaints against some of these platforms are numerous.

The platforms are protected from third party legal actions of they remain as platforms and don't take up publishers responsibilities by vetting what should be said and what shouldn't.

The platforms automatically assumes responsibility when they started vetting contents. And rightfully so, the immunity should be rescind

The freedom of the individual must be protected and not the existence of these Giants.
