Few people know 230 as well as Mike
Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta.

Why?

It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.
It’s time to repeal Section 230. We must be able to take social media companies to court for addicting kids and enabling drug trafficking on their platforms.

To everyone who’s wondering: I continue to oppose KOSA and am telling my colleagues we don't have to choose between protecting children and LGBTQ+ communities online.

This particular law would empower state attorneys general which I mean 😬
This is such a tricky policy area. I do think the government has a role to play in regulating tech, especially for children.

But you look at the frankly stupid hacks that would be in charge of it and it’s just, why assume any good faith or competence?
I wrote about Senator Blackburn making it quite clear that she intends KOSA to silence "the transgender," and wondering how the hell Democrats like @schatz.bsky.social can still support the law.
