This man is hated by the left. Really anyone that supported or supports Donald J. Trump is hated by the left. Ironically the party of inclusion and anti-hate. I even had trouble finding this on Amazon's web site. They hide the book from regular searches. Probably due to him outing Amazon as well for their fake woke practices.
The book stars off with a history lesson about monopolies. Again ironic that the Democrats have always been about breaking up monopolies however now that they have found a way to use them for their advantage, they are surprisingly fine with them.
This books explains the abuse of Section 230 and how these tech giants have used it to corner the power that even exceeds that of the putrid Federal Government, which by the way was already abused. Since before even big tech's take over, the Federal Government has left the reservation when it comes to powers. In the Constitution of "these" United States under Article II explicitly defines what the Federal Government can do.
I work in the Information Security Business and when it comes to Phishing attacks, the one constant is an immediate call to action. They are always telling you, "if you don't click now, your account will be closed" etc. This is why I do not want to take the vaccine until some more time passes by and we see results. The government does NOT have the power to mandate that you take any medication. Figures that Biden, coming from the administration that forced people to BUY healthcare I guess its not a stretch.
The fact is the Facebook, Twitter, and any other Social Media companies need to be broken up and need to be regulated. As we saw with COVID and Hunter Biden's laptop, regardless of what experts had to say, there was one narrative, the Democratic Party one and anyone writing anything against the liberal talking points were banned. Not to be left out, is the Mainstream Media which does the same. Social media controls even their messaging since they can block any story that SM does not agree with or does not meet the narrative. New York Post was silenced by Social Media for a story that after the damage was done, finally admitted that it was not the "Russian Misinformation".
What irks me is that still today in 2021, you are totally allowed to say that Trump's 2016 win was due to Russian interference, even though countless investigations that took place during Trump's presidency and even now that he is gone, are still taking place. However when the Right demands investigation into the 2020 election, you cannot write about it on Social Media and no investigation are being allowed. You have Democratic operatives fighting any independent investigations. I wish that Social Media would be benefitting the Right so that the left would demand change as well.
I used to think Liberals were people of substance, intelligent, fair, inclusive and anti-war. However now I am completely shocked that they are nothing of the like. As a libertarian, I have friends that are left, right and everywhere in-between. On the left, anyone not lockstep with them, deserves to die. Even the most moronic statements like "If you do not wear a mask to protect your fellow Americans, you should die of cancer". It is absolutely insane. I blame this on Social Media because of the echo-chambers they create and the fact that they silence one side which emboldens the other side to continue to attack.
I agree with Hawley on the control of Social Media. I believe that additionally, if an organization like NBC or Fox makes false statements and does not give the same level of correction as they did with the initial story (e.g. two days of Russian Collusion, they should have two days of "we lied and we were wrong" not a 5 second blurb.). Additionally today if Facebook blocks my content there is no option but delete the content. There is no arbitration that we can do to plead our case.
I posted the story of Pete Buttigeg not riding his bike to work and the reasons was that the White House denied the claim and therefor it is fake. What a change from the Trump administration. In light of well researched evidence they called him a lier. BTW, calling a POTUS a lier on media started by the crazy liberal media. They set a precedence moving forward.
Even this book, was canceled because they media company did not agree with his views. I challenge you to look through their thousands of authors and tell me if anyone of them are truly disgusting people. Trump was canceled from all Social Media but you have the Hammas. We even having sitting Congress people calling for the destruction of Israel and yet still remain on all Social Media Platform.
I think society has devolved due to Social Media. I would be find abolishing all of it if they cannot be fair.
Section 230 - Wikipedia
Section 230 is a piece of Internet legislation in the United States, passed into law as part of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) of 1996 (a common name for Title V of the Telecommunications Act of 1996), formally codified as Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 at 47 U.S.C. § 230.[a] Section 230 generally provides immunity for website platforms from third-party content. At its core, Section 230(c)(1) provides immunity from liability for providers and users of an "interactive computer service" who publish information provided by third-party users:
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.
The statute in Section 230(c)(2) further provides "Good Samaritan" protection from civil liability for operators of interactive computer services in the removal or moderation of third-party material they deem obscene or offensive, even of constitutionally protected speech, as long as it is done in good faith.
Section 230 was developed in response to a pair of lawsuits against Internet service providers (ISPs) in the early 1990s that had different interpretations of whether the service providers should be treated as publishers or distributors of content created by its users. After passage of the Telecommunications Act, the CDA was challenged in courts and ruled by the Supreme Court in Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union (1997) to be unconstitutional, though Section 230 was determined to be severable from the rest of the legislation and remained in place. Since then, several legal challenges have validated the constitutionality of Section 230.
Section 230 protections are not limitless, requiring providers to still remove material illegal on a federal level such as copyright infringement. In 2018, Section 230 was amended by the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (FOSTA-SESTA) to require the removal of material violating federal and state sex trafficking laws. In the following years, protections from Section 230 have come under more scrutiny on issues related to hate speech and ideological biases in relation to the power technology companies can hold on political discussions, and became a major issue during the 2020 United States presidential election. On December 23, 2020, President Donald Trump vetoed the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 in part because it did not repeal Section 230, but the veto was overridden.[2][3][4][5]
Passed at a time when Internet use was just starting to expand in both breadth of services and range of consumers in the United States,[6] Section 230 has frequently been referred to as a key law that has allowed the Internet to flourish, and has been called, by the cybersecurity law professor and author Jeff Kosseff, as "the twenty-six words that created the Internet".[7]
I say abolish it and let them deal with the fallout.
