Because there are other laws that would make them liable/ability to sue for slander otherwise.

Get rid of both laws...that was the point. It is a civil issue between two parties that can be covered through a terms of service with no law required.

looks like the liberals agree on their anti-business stance - ashtray UF - 5/5 08:47:08

so some government "interference" in the market is good now? - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

defamation and libel is government interference in the - ashtray UF - 5/5 08:58:10

yes(nm) - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/5 09:53:34

not necessarily - ashtray UF - 5/5 09:00:18

what is the made up right with defamation? - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/5 09:04:35

you have a right to free speech (nm) - ashtray UF - 5/5 09:05:51

and defamation is limited by that right(nm) - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/5 09:06:58

Incorrect (nm) - pickle MU

- 5/5 09:34:19

who limits that right?(nm) - meatiger MU - 5/5 09:07:23

The first amendment limits the right to recover for - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

Lol no it doesn’t (nm) - pickle MU

- 5/5 09:35:05

sure it does, rhetorical hyperbole is based in the - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/5 09:46:30

No it doesn’t - pickle MU

- 5/5 10:23:57

lol ok I should've seen this coming - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/5 10:30:00

You mean having your argument knocked down? - pickle MU

- 5/5 10:40:20

First amendment says nothing about defamation - meatiger MU - 5/5 09:28:37

Ahh this argument again. The Constitution doesn't say - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/5 09:33:18

non sequitur (nm) - pickle MU

- 5/5 09:35:24

He and meat don't even know what they are arguing at this - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 08:56:05

meat has absolutely no clue per usual, I can kind of see - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/5 09:01:18

meat is like a rask who is actually trying to grasp - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 09:10:10

I did not change the discussion - meatiger MU - 5/5 09:12:19

You claimed "need more government" - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 09:14:40

Derpflake mad^ - JayHoaxH8r MU

- 5/5 08:39:03

Not mad - just practical - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 08:39:52

it's not getting removed - JayHoaxH8r MU

- 5/5 08:40:36

that must be the pro-business stance (nm) - ashtray UF - 5/5 08:35:16

need more government(nm) - meatiger MU - 5/5 08:36:18

This would be the removal of government - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 08:38:12

Not at all - meatiger MU - 5/5 08:45:00

what government liability laws?(nm) - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/5 08:46:56

It is a removal of government protection - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 08:46:40

Government should be completely out of it - meatiger MU - 5/5 08:52:12

And that is fine, but this step is still not more government - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 08:55:10

Why is the protection even there? - meatiger MU - 5/5 09:00:27

That is a different argument than yours above - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 09:04:34

It is more government - meatiger MU - 5/5 09:06:52

So if there were 50 laws before, and now there would be 49 - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 09:08:26

Are you calling for the full removal of section 230 - meatiger MU - 5/5 09:11:15

In this thread I am saying for those who have demonstrated - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 09:16:10

and then Nick would be on the hook for every poster here - ashtray UF - 5/5 09:18:27

So you want government protection for such sites? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 09:21:13

if a law is made to prevent infringements on a right - ashtray UF - 5/5 09:30:38

So you buy into the notion that we should at times have more - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 09:32:21

if we are going to have a government - ashtray UF - 5/5 09:37:29

OK - as I said I am glad you put that out there - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 09:39:58

I see where you are trying to direct this conversation - ashtray UF - 5/5 09:45:57

So you are for laws that work to protect liberty and freedom - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 09:50:58

If we are going to have government forced on us - ashtray UF - 5/5 10:02:35

So you agree laws can matter, and those who support some - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 10:10:38

no, it isn't a fair representation at all - ashtray UF - 5/5 10:17:20

So you say it does not matter who gets elected, yet the laws - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 10:27:34

I haven't agreed to that point - ashtray UF - 5/5 10:41:08

I get what you are saying - I just cannot follow it - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 10:44:54

yeah, you're not following - ashtray UF - 5/5 10:51:03

Well, you said above you support laws that protect rights - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 11:10:24

I would prefer the removal of section 230 - meatiger MU - 5/5 09:29:51

And as I said elsewhere, that is a totally different - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 09:34:00

That post was hyperbole - meatiger MU - 5/5 11:01:29

I didn't say I had faith in government - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 11:11:22

is your solution to remove Section 320 - meatiger MU - 5/5 11:14:53

As I said elsewhere, I would have no issues with removing it - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 11:22:59

Doesn't your 2nd option require more government - meatiger MU - 5/5 11:28:46

They already are meat(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 11:57:21

hence the problem(nm) - meatiger MU - 5/5 12:24:18

false (nm) - ashtray UF - 5/5 08:39:02

How is it not? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 08:41:44

I know you can't think past your nose - ashtray UF - 5/5 08:44:24

I will let your words here stand for themselves - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 08:45:27

good laydown, retard (nm) - ashtray UF - 5/5 08:45:52

wouldn't removing govt protection be less govt?(nm) - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/5 08:38:06

what is the protection from? - ashtray UF - 5/5 08:39:45

You are such an idiot - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 08:43:00

you clearly don't understand the issue (nm) - ashtray UF - 5/5 08:44:40

private law suits - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/5 08:42:03

Yet it was the US gvmt going up against the ACLU - pickle MU

- 5/5 08:48:38

what?(nm) - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/5 08:52:36

RE: what?(nm) - pickle MU

- 5/5 08:55:24

lawsuits based on what? (nm) - ashtray UF - 5/5 08:44:51

content they publish(nm) - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/5 08:46:02

what suit can be brought for that? (nm) - ashtray UF - 5/5 08:46:27

libel and defamation I think are the main ones - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/5 08:47:37

so the protection is from government made up laws - ashtray UF - 5/5 08:49:08

uh defamation is a common law tort - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/5 08:50:35

well, you know my opinion about what needs to be - ashtray UF - 5/5 08:56:33

Well, thus far you have been arguing in favor of Section 230 - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 08:58:05

or you're just too stupid to understand the argument - ashtray UF - 5/5 08:58:57

The record is clear - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 09:00:53

you only advocated for removing half of it - ashtray UF - 5/5 09:05:02

Yes (nm) - pickle MU

- 5/5 09:28:06

And yet you and meat labled that more government - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 09:07:19

it is more government - ashtray UF - 5/5 09:09:33

So to you smaller government is not about fewer laws and - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 09:13:08

no, how stupid of you - ashtray UF - 5/5 09:17:38

The beauty of threads such as this - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 09:18:58

yes, everybody can see just how stupid you are - ashtray UF - 5/5 09:19:41

defamation is anti-free speech (nm) - pickle MU

- 5/5 08:56:21

These idiots have their talking points and then show - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 08:38:54

meat for sure, but ashtray isn't often factually wrong(nm) - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/5 08:45:14

He has become emotional and hormonal - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 08:47:38

says the poster making an emotional stance - ashtray UF - 5/5 08:50:04

How it is emotional? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 08:53:04

because you're basing it on your feelings (nm) - ashtray UF - 5/5 08:57:35

No, I am basing it on Facebook's actions - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/5 08:59:21

lol. ok, snowflake (nm) - ashtray UF - 5/5 09:00:34

but only when feelings are hurt - ashtray UF - 5/5 08:37:38
