  1. Actually, if Facebook and other social media companies become NEWSPAPERS, with editorial control of their content, they may lose Section 230 immunity for what is published on their platforms. As matters stand, you can prove in court that defamatory material destroying your livelihood, and even leading to your false prosecution, was disseminated on Facebook, yet not only can you get no damages from them, but you cannot even force them to remove the defamatory material. It's up to them. How does that strike you? This is how powerful these companies are.

  2. AMEN

  3. Look up the conditions placed on the very valuable and coveted Section 230 immunity Facebook has.

  4.  @Maltechr  Social media platforms cannot exercise all of the rights and privileges of being editor/publishers, while enjoying special immunities that editor/publishers do not have. It's not about free speech, it's about IMMUNITY from any legal ramifications for your editorial decisions. They want to act like editors whenever they want, then claim to be "platforms" whenever it's convenient. Cute chameleon act.

  5. If there is no metadata, how do you know it's Russian disinformation? What are the indicia that you see "written all over it?"

  6.  @RossJacobs  I didn't say the emails were authentic, and the story about how they were supposedly discovered is a hoot. Nor, as Glenn Greenwald pointed out, do the emails contain any "bombshells." (Does anyone doubt Hunter drops his dad's name for personal gain? Hardly evidence his father is involved, or even knows about any specific instance. In fact, it's a reasonable conjecture that Hunter hides a lot from dad.) So "Russia" is your go-to? I thought you actually might have a reason to cite Russia, other than that the story worked well before, and it's a nice safety valve for American bigotry, which is about to explode. The more stories about the "Foreign Enemies" among us, the better. The hate has got to be deflected somewhere. Censorship, and Section 230 immunity is the big story here. How do they all get to do whatever they like, and have blanket immunity all the same? Even newspapers have to be mindful of the "NYTimes malice" standard. Krystal is correct in objecting to the disgusting hypocrisy -- though that is not news, either.

  7. Of all the unconscionable things Trump has done, and continues to do, he was impeached for "trying to dig up dirt" on . . . the BIDENS. We know the "elites" are debilitated. But how far how fast . . . ??

  9. We are interested in the sources. Which ones? Nothing surprises anymore.
