''''"Section 230"''' is the name given to a piece of the so-called "Communications Decency Act" ("CDA"),which allows websites and forums/message boards/chans to exist as they currently do. In recent years, [[GOP|neo-conservatives]], [[infowars|conspiracy theorists]], and "[[Free speech]] [[Anonymous|activist]]" types have argued for completely [[NO|repealing]] this section of the CDA law in order to "stop censorship" of their voices by "Big Tech", mainly due to section (c)(2) allowing it. What those [[boomers]] fail to understand, is that replealing this entire part of the CDA would in fact, backfire and result in even moar censorship of "Dissenting voices".

'''"Section 230"''' allows sites such as [[4chan]], [[Twatter|"X"]], and your beloved [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] to exist without being shut down by constant empty-handed yet suddenly-liable-for-user-actions lolsuits. Basically, if an user of a site, (rather than a site owner) posts something that could get the site owner in any kind of deep shit, the site owner is not the one who is responsible for the users' actions. Obviously, the exception to this is sites that exist specifically to break the law, i.e. [[CP]] and Drug Market-type sites. For example, if an user of Wikipedia uploads [[CP|something very illegal]] to the Wikipedia site, [[Jimbo Wales]] cannot be sued for the uploading users' personal actions, (although, obviously the illegal content is removed by site owners.)

Take into mind, all the dank fresh memes you see on sites like [[KnowYourMeme]] and [[reddit|le Plebbit]], or even on apps like [[Instagram]] or [[Amino]]. Section 230 '''protects''' these sites from having to automatically shut down, in the sad case that some [[loser|luser]] would try to [[DMCA]] the memes (ala Pepe the Frog's creator) or sue for "copyright damages". The blame is then shifted onto the user who technically had uploaded the meme or "user-generated content". But without '''Section 230''' in the CDA law, the sites will get fucked over instead!!

They say the Net is still free. We say freedom doesn’t come with a Terms of Service.

Another knife in the spine of a dying web. They call it the Kids Online Safety Act — KOSA, for short. But we've seen this script before. CISPA. SOPA. PIPA. ACTA. SESTA-FOSTA. ACTA. NAFTA. Different names. Same boot.

Like always, two of our cybernetic overlords (power words: Richard Blumenthal. Marsha Blackburn) have wrapped in the soft cotton of “protecting the children,” but don’t be fooled... it’s a muzzle, not a shield. A kill-switch disguised as concern. The kind of law that would make even George Orwell raise an eyebrow and mutter... derivative.

Airstrip One passed their own “Online Safety Act.” And in the failed genetic experiment known as Australia, well... let's just say your SimWare aren't safe either. Now the Amerikkkan regime -- bloated on lobbyist data and corporate feed -- wants to end what’s left of digital anonymity.

No more open web. No more underground signals. No more voices that don’t fit the algorithm.
