Because you can't have free speech without protections like 230. How would any user generated content (like this!) be available if a trivial lawsuit directed at the conduit (rather than the poster) could knock everything offline.
Antifascist groups are not a monolith. The actions of one antifa group do not represent the actions of all antifa groups.
White Power groups however are heavily cross-linked, often supported by the local police, and 100% behind Trump. Hmmm.
The only requirement to be Antifa "Hate Fascists." So I have zero problem with that.
A right-wing reporter got shoved by an Antifa - how many times have the Police beaten the press and I still don't see an outcry from the right to ban the police.
I'm allowed to make a backup of any CD/DVD/video game/etc... that I own. That is established in law, it literally says I can do that, regardless of whether it is protected by security measures/DRM. 1201 says I can't circumvent those measures to make my backup. So do explain how the hell I'm supposed to obey all the laws in this scenario to make my legally protected right to a backup?
You are not legally entitled to make a backup under the DMCA if the sourse is encrypted and copyrighted.
Re: The First Amendment is ALWAYS in conflict with Copyright
Copyright is always i conflict with the first amendment. The government shall make no laws to restrict speech - but corporations have the Right to own speech, and prevent you from using it.
Seems pretty clear to me - Copyright gives corporatights a Right of Censorship.
No indication what they intend to do with the animals when the planet gets overrun by them.
Laughably, this is not a problem. Who told you that we are going to be over run by cows, InfoWars?
It'd be funny but we are really doing some serious harm. Especially to the fish species we consider delicious. But if "Animals will over run us if we don't eat more" make you sleep better - you are a liar, or walking proof of inbreeding, eh?
Dairy States consider this horrible false advertising and have tried to block "Soy Milk", "Almond Milk" etc. Because despite the use of the word "Soy" anything that includes "Milk" is tortuous if it doesn't come from cows.
Moo. And once again - Anyone who Claims to be confused be this is either lying, or inbred. (Err, or both.)

Patents only help the biggest of businesses block competition. They clearly do not help people, or innovation. Especially in computers.

TOS Violations are real
Without a TOS, Facebook wouldn't have a viable service. Anyone who thinks they can do it better is welcome to try.
If the service was over run by nazi's and asshats, people wouldn't use it.
