Rejection of reality is the sign of a mental illness.

Our new government should get rid of that obsolete stupid freedom of speech and 1st amendment thing. People are too stupid to judge for themselves. Only Jack Dorsey, a few tech monoliths and legacy media should be in charge of the definition of “truth”.

Math is truth. Science is truth. Failing to acknowledge those truths is not an alternative truth. It is false.

Science can be malleable — remember when Fauci was saying not to wear masks back in the early path of the pandemic? And as for the math, it’s hard to get over those images of windows being boarded up where they were counting votes in Detroit, or the vote counters in Philadelphia wearing Biden/Harris face masks:

You do know that Republican scrutineers were present at all locations, right…?
Not just anyone has the right to demand to be in the room votes are counted.
There are rules.

Oh….and science evolves as new information is gleaned. That’s how science works…

you may note that these guys are leaving one private company to join another private company, with no interaction from the US Government at all.

Yes, I’m actually very glad conservatives have options away from the Silicon Valley behemoths.

Now if Twitter, Facebook, etc. want to fact check and block/censor posts they feel are untruthful, shouldn’t they be considered publishers (and be liable for anything published on their curated services) and not protected by Section 230, since they are not being neutral in what can be posted on their services?

I doubt you’ll forgive people for feeling liberal/progressive definitions of what “truth” is are somewhat subjective, after 3 1/2 years of non-stop droning on about how Bad Orange Man™ was on a Russian payroll, when in fact the whole DNC/Hilliary-campaign-funded Steele dossier was thoroughly dubious.

that’s not what 230 is for in any possible way. every website censors and stops shit from getting on their sites. Nearly none of them allow spam, same for child pornography.
