I mean if someone judgment-proof or terminally ill were to google-bomb him with a story of say him raping a 14 year-old girl (not that anyone SHOULD, just saying IF they did), I bet his position on 230 would change overnight.
Then you'd be out of money because he won't change his position.
This week in 2005, Senators were apparently undeterred by multiple court rulings on the unconstitutionality of video game bans
And now we have politicians such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez playing Among Us on Twitch. It's awesome how yesterday's moral panic becomes today's accepted recreation.

Just out of curiosity, are you saying that Vote-by-mail is rigging the election game, or should I have a less cynical or more benign interpretation? I just want clarification is all.
Re: Msnick denies it's "evil" even before accused!
corporatists -- including these leftist politicians
A few things:
"Corporatists" and "leftists" are usually at odds with each other. Leftists are usually Marxists, Socialists, Anarchists, and Communists, a.k.a. the opposite of Corporatists. It's like saying "Liberal Fascism" (which Jonah Goldberg did, to be fair); it's only used by people who know nothing of what they are talking.
If by "leftist politicians" you include Chris Cox, to be fair, he did step up law enforcement on Wall street in 2008, even before the Crash. But I thought Law and Order and pro-Capitalism was a right-wing thing…
They also don't realize that without §230, Parler, 4Chan, 8kun, and Gab wouldn't be able to moderate their sites either. Devin Nunes' Cow was kicked off Parler for not doing something illegal, but had the Cow (or rather, the human pretending to be the Cow) been as petty as Devin Nunes himself and sued Parler, §230 would have protected Parler.
I wish conservatives who are anti-230 would see that.
Those are far more valid, constructive, and non-trolling points than just saying a post on an opinion blog is "biased" when nobody on TechDirt said otherwise. I don't have any answers, but at least you're asking the right questions.
AT&T is just like Trump in that they get tons of revenue (in AT&T's case, government subsidies; in Trump's case, Casino and Hotel revenue), and they still lose a bajillion dollars. Unlike Trump, though, at least AT&T has something decent to offer (I'm talking about HBO Max, which I love).
Just out of curiosity, how would one pronounce "Xhamster"? "Eks-HAM-stir"? "ZAM-stir"? I'd like to know, as the Wikipedia page is not producing any clues…

Weird how that never occured to those who wrote the First Amendment how the part about allowing Congress to create © would conflict with each other. Maybe that's why we have a judiciary for that sort of thing.

Fair use is part of Copyright laws. Otherwise, Copyright would conflict with the First Amendment.

So basically, Ron Wyden is the most interesting man in the world? Sure, I guess. That checks out.

Re: Re: Graham voted for §230
Correct. For example, Lindsey Graham's public statements.

Graham voted for §230
Interesting that Lindsey Graham is against Section 230 when he voted for the damn thing.
