stop proposing and just do it. if they don't pay; then ban twitter from operating in your country. enough tip-toeing.
So, we're not doing Section 230 anymore ?
So, are we giving the right to twitter, no, the mandate, to delete everyone we and they don't like ?
I mean, this is what's going to happen and is already happening. Just the most powerful people on earth become the arbiters of Truth ?
Like, isn't anyone else seeing this is bad ?
I mean, the worst outcome possible that we've seen coming for 40 years kind of bad ?
I think just kill all social media, would be a much preferable solution. Maybe cut every optic fiber instead !
Just don't give these monsters that power, I think global thermonuclear war is a cakewalk compared to this prison we're building around us.
That's a part of a US law, and as such doesn't throw a shrimp on the bar-b in Australia, mate.
How dare you speak for other nations like that.
Sounds like they're lacking some essential American Freedom™!
Come to think of it, sounds like you're acting very Red™ yourself.

"They go low, we go high! Let's give the people who want to one day undo freedom of speech the freedom to spread misinformation, so they can undo freedom of speech one day."
One thing I had to learn through the years of my life, if you turn the other cheek, you might make someone flinch the first or second time, but after a while, they'll be expecting you turning the other cheek for the second punch, and call you "uncivil" and "unfair" the very moment you don't turn the other cheek. Just replace the "turning the other cheek" with the whole "they go low, we go high" mantra.
History is wrriten by the victor, and unfortunately, if you have money in this world, you're winning.
