      Ah, so because they wrote it down, that means that is how they enforce their rules.

      You're an idiot.

        No, that's not my stance at all.

        Learn to read.

        You said that "Twitter says kiddie porn doesn't violate their TOS" and I proved you wrong with reference to their ToS.

          Yet, I showed that they won't remove kiddie porn unless Homeland Security demands they do.

          So again, just because you are special needs. Just because something is written down, doesn't mean they follow that.

            So your statement that "Twitter says kiddie porn doesn't violate their TOS" remains false.

            Got it.

            So again, just because you are special needs. Just because something is written down, doesn't mean they follow that.

            I never said it did.

              Yet, Twitter told that family that they would not remove it because it didn't violate their TOS.

              GOT IT?! Of course, you don't because you're a liberal.

              It's funny that you feel the need to fight me over this when Twitter's actions are extremely disgusting in this case.

                Are you saying I would be totally within my right to ban you and the rest of the swamp monster?

                YES! This is a "private" server! You actually DO ban people on this site - regularly! For violating your terms of service (e.g.: not having multiple accounts). If you want to ban me (or delete my posts), you are within your rights to do so! (If I understand the ownership of this site, @joker is the actual owner, although you are an administrator. If you are not a paid employee of the site owner (person or corporation), you may not be protected -- I'd want to look that up! LOL)

                Twitter has set rules for what is allowed and what is not allowed, as a publisher would do.

                No, publishers EDIT and CHOOSE content BEFORE it is published.
                That was my example earlier:

                • IF Twitter required that you submit your tweets for their approval, THEN they would become a publisher.
                • Fox News is responsible (liable) for anything that they publish on their website, FoxNews.com... FYI: Fox News is being sued by Dominion Voting Systems for libel because they posted falsehoods about them on their site. They have no Section 230 protection for the edited (e.g.: published) parts of their site! They are claiming other protections, but that is another discussion...
                • Fox News is not responsible for anything that readers post in the comment section of their website (I don't know if you can comment on FoxNews.com, but you get the idea). That content is protected under Section 230! The posters are "3rd parties")
                • However, the actual people who post content are themselves potentially liable: Section 230 only provides legal coverage for the site-owner! (So, if Rudy Giuliani posted falsehoods about Dominion Voting Systems on the Fox News site - as a "reader comment" - he could be held liable, but FoxNews.com would be protected by Section 230. *That may be a bad example, because I don't know if Rudy is paid by Fox News - if he is, then both he AND FoxNews.com share liability for libel claims against them.)

                Ironically enough, Twitter says kiddie porn doesn't violate their TOS, but saying "but they aren't women, though" does violate their TOS.

                I honestly don't know anything about Twitter's TOS - I'm not a subscriber. 🙂

                What does it say about you that you are defending them.

                It says I understand the protections of Section 230 better than you do? LOL

                  What Twitter did in an individual case does not constitute a revocation of their ToS.

                  GOT IT?! Of course, you don't because you're a liberal.

                  My outlook has nothing to do with the fact that your statement was false, and I proved it.

                  I'm not fighting with you, I'm correcting you.

                    Just because it is written down, does not mean that they follow their own rules.

                    I said that Twitter says that kiddie porn doesn't violate their TOS and in the case I mentioned, I am 100% right. Twitter's stance in that case is that kiddie porn does not violate their TOS.

                    I know you are too stupid to understand that.

                      No, you said that "Twitter says kiddie porn doesn't violate their TOS". Nothing else, no qualifiers. Don't lie.

                      I know you are too stupid to understand that.

                      I'm not the one who is defending a lie they've been caught up badly on.

                        That isn't the purpose/intent of 230.

                        I do love that you are, in your own eye at least, more of an expert in Section 230 than lawyers, politicians, and others.

                          Did twitter tell this family that they won't remove the kiddie porn because it doesn't violate their TOs in this case?

                          If so, you are an ass clown that needs to fight.

                            Irrelevant to your false statement.

                            I'm still here correcting you on your false claim that "Twitter says kiddie porn doesn't violate their TOS".

                              Your crack headed liberal mental gymnastics won't change that fact.

                                I'm not the one who lied about Twitter ToS.

                                Twitter said that kiddie porn does not violate their TOS and refused to remove it until Homeland Security got involved.

                                "Twitter says kiddie porn doesn't violate their TOS"

                                Yet I have proven this wrong with reference to their terms. You're lying.

                                Your crack headed liberal mental gymnastics won't change that fact.

                                Nothing you have said has invalidated Twitter ToS.

                                  That is the truth, but you call it a lie because you are mentally ill.

                                    You did, even after multiple corrections.

                                    Twitter told the family that they would not remove the kiddie porn because it did not violate their TOS. Twitter only removed it because Homeland Security got involved.

                                    An indivdual incident does not invalidate Twitter ToS.

                                    "Twitter says kiddie porn doesn't violate their TOS" was your statement.

                                    That is the truth, but you call it a lie because you are mentally ill.

                                    I call a repeated lie a 'lie'. Yes.

                                      You're an idiot.

                                      I have to question if you still have the coat hanger in your head.

                                      You admit that just because Twitter wrote some shit down, that they don't have to follow it.

                                      Twitter told this family that kiddie porn does not violate their TOS and refused to remove it. Twitter only removed it once Homeland Security got involved.

                                      The fact that you have such a pathological need to fight me over this says volumes about you.

                                      Twitter totally disregarded their own TOS on kiddie porn, but for some reason you need to fight me over this, claiming I am a liar.

                                      EDIT: Looking at this discussion, I'm not sure if you are special needs or simply a troll.

                                          That isn't the purpose/intent of 230.

                                          No, the purpose of Section 230 is to shield the owners of "public forums" and other kinds of social media from being sued or harassed - as the owner of the forum - for the postings (actions) of its subscribers.

                                          For what its worth, Section 230 has absolutely nothing to do with censorship!

                                          I do love that you are, in your own eye at least, more of an expert in Section 230 than lawyers, politicians, and others.

                                          Again, no - just (apparently) more than you 😉

                                            @raphjd said in The Lincoln Project and sexual harassment:

                                            Twitter told the family that they would not remove the kiddie porn because it did not violate their TOS. Twitter only removed it because Homeland Security got involved.

                                            I am admittedly not familiar with this specific case, but in general, Twitter's finding that an instance that you (and, presumably others) found offensive and labeled kiddie porn did not violate their ToS does not follow that they therefore allow kiddie porn.

                                            When the officer sitting on the side of the road lets 100 cars go by - all of whom are speeding - and he then chooses to pull YOU over for speeding, the fact that he chose to ignore the other speeders does not mean the speeding was legal. Nor is he required to ticket every speeder to validate your speeding ticket.

                                            Selective enforcement does not invalidate the law (or, in this case, the ToS of Twitter).

                                            If that doesn't sound FAIR, let me tell you the same thing I taught my children as they were growing up:

                                            Life isn't fair - and anyone who tells you it is, should be, or could be, is flat-out lying to you!
