Facebook, Twitter block the NY Post from posting
This was a shockingly dumb move. Whether or not you think these actions were politically motivated or made in good faith, it just poured <i>liquid oxygen</i> on the "reform section 230" fire you're seeing from both sides of the aisle - one using the censorship reason, the other using the disinformation reason.<p>There's no way you don't block a newspaper, <i>and</i> the press secretary, <i>and</i> prevent anyone from even private messaging the link to each other, <i>and</i> blocking people who share screenshots, and not invite serious scrutiny or action.<p>The legislative blowback is going to suck. Section 230 is an ordinary law, not a constitutional right or based on one, and that means it's exposed to all the usual political fighting.
