No. I am an American.

No. I want you to understand that small children and dolphins outpace you mentally. There Russians are responsible for this war. The Ukrainians would be justified in carpet bombing Moscow.

No. When you said the Russian government is the adult child of Russia, I realized you're not playing with a full deck. You are a window licker. A short bus rider. A literal moron.

I'm not going to argue with an actual idiot.

Hey dipshit, you don't need a tortured metaphor. They are the the actual representatives of the Russian people.

That is not how governments work. When we went to war in Iraq, it wasn't on behalf of the Americans who voted for Bush or supported the war. I am complicit in my nations foreign policy. My taxes, my labor, and my consumption contribute to the nation and my government represents me regardless of my agreement on any given issue. Putin is a problem created by Russians and they are guilty of his actions done on their behalf.

The government derives its power from the governed. The Russian government acts on behalf of the Russian citizen. All Russians are complicit.

Putin is wildly popular in Russia. The Russians are responsible for the war in Ukraine

My point is section 230 shouldn't exist. Either the company is responsible for the posted content or it isn't.

A company removing content it does not agree with gives content it doesn't remove its implied endorsement. They can't have it both ways.

The platforms generally prioritize posts not by content but by interactions. The algorithm doesn't know what message any individual post conveys, it only knows that the post will lead to a desired outcome (clicks, shares, likes, what have you)

Ok, the sentence "a man can not become a woman." Is true or false? How would it be decided in a way that does not infringe on free speech in your world?

You are unapologetically anti-free speech. What a stance.

The problem is that when a person makes a value judgment on content and uses it to promote (or not) that speech, it is censorship. If a platform is going to censor speech, they should be accountable for that speech.

prioritizing content is censorship.

I believe that it is fine if platforms want to censor content, but if they are going to take responsibility for some of the speech on their platform, they should have to be liable for all speech on their platform.

If we are going to allow nameless tech employees to determine who gets the megaphone in society with no public accountability, we should at least be able to use litigation to keep the size of their megaphone in check.

It absolutely can be content neutral, and it normally is. The algorithm looks at engagement patterns and content is usually only considered after the optimization has occurred.

All legal speech should be allowed, and algorithms should be content neutral. If a platform is going to censor any speech, they should be liable for all speech on the platform.

So you are saying parents should feed their kids? Insightful.

Used to be fat. Now it's sugar. Can't wait to find out what's really killing us next.

Texas generates the most wind energy in the country, and it isn't close.

Yeah, figure out electricity storage at scale and then get back to me. People might pay 5% more for green energy, but they will not give up their way of life.

Yeah, just the "mechanics" I get it. My point was in agreement with the other commenter. We both think the "mechanics" of blowjobs and anal sex should be included in public schools. I think you agree with me. It's the public schools job to teach kids about a very intimate personal thing like sex and not parents.

I agree it doesn't matter who teaches it as long as it's schools!

What exactly is the point you are trying to make?

I agree with you. I was talking about those ignorant bigots who think a school should teach math, reading, and science. Clearly, schools are already doing so well with those subjects they have time for extra stuff. There are some backward mouth breathers out there who believe sex should be taught by parents even though it's uncomfortable and yucky.

Yeah it's a real shame the schools aren't teaching kids how to give blow jobs and have anal sex. It's like some people don't get that's what schools are for.
