You have absolutely no understanding of 230. A blanket repeal of it without any replacement of a similar legal note would annihilate the internet and literally do the exact opposite of what those calling for its appeal believe.
This is the same stupidity that said repeal of Net Neutrality would end the internet as we know it. It did no such thing. An alternative is to seek a decision that Section 230 by and of itself is a violation of the First Amendment.
Now this is poetic.

Why should WE care about YOU. Republicans had plenty of chances to DO Something but sat on their Fat Wallets. They fully deserve to Lose the Senate. Why would, or should, Anyone vote for the lesser of “two evils”. What is Socialism they so ardently harp about, but taking and / or profiting from those same Corporations that keep them in their lifestyles. They are forcing the joining of forces by the far right and the far left against these powers now in control. It’s not a good outcome for them.
Only one from my humble das Red State. Now we know who is owned by the Big Tech Bolsheviks.
Section 230 is the reason for the vote.
Unfortunately I had to vote for John Cornyn because he is better than the communist Democrat who ran against him in this election. I just wish strong Republican candidates would run against these RINOS in the primaries because I’m tired of not being able to vote for a candidate and not just against their opponent.
