I need “Section 230 for Dummies” to explain the statute and the issues. Something available at eff.org?
I think I get the gist but clarity would be appreciated.

Doing away with Section 230 “and really removing a fundamental piece of architecture from the Internet is a really ham-handed blunderbuss way” of trying to address online child exploitation, EFF’s @davidgreene told WVIK. -
For 1100 Palestinian civilian deaths on the West Bank, no Israeli has yet been convicted.> The truth is that a law enforcement system that genuinely strives to hold soldiers accountable when they kill, humiliate, or abuse Palestinians has never existed in Israel, or at least not for several decades... what exists is a system that effectively provides immunity for soldiers when their victims are Palestinians, and even strives for that outcome...rare instances of accountability that the system does produce are intended to conceal this reality

"The U.S. #government is insolvent.I wouldn’t say “ironic” but rather that public surplus is private deficit… sector balances!

@xankarn@mastodon.online Deficits don’t matter the way you may think. The US federal budget is not like a household budget. See #MMT: Stephanie Kelton’s “The Deficit Myth” or https://findingmoneyfilm.com/ > With one brief exception, the federal government has been in debt every year since 1776. In January 1835, for the 1st & only time in US history, the public debt was retired, and a budget surplus was maintained for 2 yrs…In 1837 the economy collapsed into a deep depression https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2010/02/wray-the-federal-budget-is-not-like-a-household-budget-%E2%80%93-here%E2%80%99s-why.html

"The U.S. #government is insolvent.Of course I agree with ghost. I’ll recycle this from couple days ago

@danwentzel@urbanists.social Sorry. As much as I hate Trump & like your ETTD acronym, debt fear mongering like this is bull💩. USA can’t become insolvent in its own money. Fed gov creates $$ when it spends them into existence. We don’t need to borrow/tax to acquire dollars. See #MMT, eg Stephanie Kelton’s “The Deficit Myth” or https://findingmoneyfilm.com/ Nonsense like this prevents us from housing, feeding, educating, & providing healthcare with pointless “how are we gonna pay for it?” question.

I’ve been asked on TV hits and interviews lately to explain why decentralized social media is better, especially re: Mastodon.@taylorlorenz
Non-profit, no algorithm, no ads. Decentralized means that you control how and where (mobility) you interact with the network, and there is not a single point of failure as there is within centralized social media.
