Trump’s latest attack on Section 230 is really about censoring speech

The reason Twitter (usually) leaves phony pictures like that up is that the United States permits its citizens to speak freely about politicians — even to say mean things about them. Repealing Section 230 would likely have no impact on the tweet in question, because the Twitter user’s speech is protected under the First Amendment.

It might, however, make Twitter legally liable for what its users post — which would lead the company to remove more speech, not less. Whatever repealing Section 230 might achieve, it would not be what the president seems to want.

Facebook Hires an Israeli Censor

If one were to read the U.S. mainstream media, reflective as it nearly always is of a certain institutional Jewish viewpoint, one would think that there has been a dramatic increase in anti-Semitism worldwide, but that claim is incorrect. What has been taking place is not hatred of Jews but rather a confluence of two factors. First is the undeniable fact that Israel has been behaving particularly badly, even by its admittedly low standards. Its slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza has been unusually observable in spite of media attempts to avoid mentioning it, plus its support of terrorists in Syria and attacks on that country have also raised questions about the intentions of the kleptocratic regime in Tel Aviv, which is currently pushing hard for an attack on Iran and appears to have the Trump administration fully on board. That all means that the perception of Israel as an exclusively Jewish state, inevitably raises questions about the behavior of the international Jewish community that has done so much to shape the favorable narrative, but it does not necessarily imply hatred of the Jewish ethnicity or religion.

YouTube: Richard Spencer’s New Grift – Riding With Biden

‘Creepy Joe’ has Twits on the lookout for people tweeting about Richard Spencer’s endorsement, as I received the following as a reply (from someone I don’t even follow), on Twitter. That’s creepy, in itself!

Biden Campaign Rejects Richard Spencer Endorsement, Condemns Views as ‘Absolutely Repugnant’

Spencer, 42, previously backed Trump in the 2016 election. But he tweeted an endorsement of Biden on Sunday. “I plan to vote for Biden and a straight democratic ticket. It’s not based on ‘accelerationism’ or anything like that; the liberals are clearly more competent people,” he wrote.

In a follow-up Twitter post early Monday morning, Spencer shared an image of himself with the words: “I’m on team Joe.”

“The MAGA/Alt-Right moment is over. I made mistakes; Trump is an obvious disaster; but mainly the paradigm contained flaws that we now are able to perceive. And it needs to end,” Spencer wrote in a series of tweets, explaining his decision. “So be patient. We’ll have another day in the sun. We need to recover and return in a new form.”
