That’s thanks to Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, which states that “no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.”


If a NEWSPAPER published you're a rapist and you are not, you could sue the paper and the writer.....What's teh difference??

THIS, IMHO is what is wrong with the freedom of speech "issues" with social media.

You snowflakes will say the worst stuff on the planet only to come back and say this crap.
