KNAPP: Section 230 doesn’t need “reform”

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 is under attack — disguised as a cry for “reform” — from politicians on both sides of the “major party” aisle. To what purpose? Well, let’s look at Section 230’s key provision: “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.” US Naval Academy law professor Jeff Kosseff calls those words “The Twenty-Six Words […]

ZeroHedge slapped with Twitter suspension for Coronavirus doxxing

SAN FRANCISCO/MAHWAH, N.J. (Heartland Newsfeed) -- A pro-Trump financial news website who has experienced their fair share of social media censorship is once again in trouble.

Facebook banned the website's social media presence last March, with a reversal the following day, citing it was 'a mistake'. This time, it involves Twitter.

Presidential candidates running for the role of commander-in-chief have spent more than $105 million on digital ads to date. Facebook and Google have received a lion's share of the ad revenue. Twitter chose to opt-out for the 2020 presidential election, and just recently, Spotify decided to opt-out as well. This is despite political organizations like the campaign of Bernie Sanders and the Republican National Committee who previously utilized the platform's paid ad network. With billionaires in the presidential race, such […]

Nobody, formerly known as Rich Paul, de-platformed from Twitter over hyperbolic Clinton remark

KEENE, N.H. (Heartland Newsfeed) -- A Republican candidate for governor in New Hampshire was permanently de-platformed from Twitter Sunday following an obvious hyperbolic tweet made on the platform. Candidate Nobody (formerly known as Rich Paul) responded to remarks that Karen Lytle (@karenlytle711) made in response to a tweet made by Michigan Congressman Justin Amash. It’s like Pavlov’s dogs. The moment Hillary speaks, a lot of men lose their minds. It actually crosses political ideology. #misogyny — Karma's Quid Pro Quo […]
