Joseph Gordon-Levitt Goes To Washington DC, Gets Section 230 Completely Backwards

If section 230 gets passed it will be the death of free speech online. Anyone voting for this fuckery is actively pushing for censorship of all but the corporate entities who already have the biggest voices. Blood sucking leeches feeding into the propaganda machine.

They don't even know the Bill of Rights or the Constitution. It is just another form of xenophobia and they are just upset because they heard someone say something in a language they don't like to hear.
