Does this mean Twitter will also be snapped out of existence?

Given that they stand to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of such an event, no. Twitter will get much stronger, it will become much more draconian, and no alternative will be able to find a sizeable foothold. Parler and Gab were already jokes, but they'll be fucking dead after this.

You're seeing Silicon Valley et al. get the "allow only a very narrow field of discourse, but allow vigorous debate within that field" train back on its tracks. You can talk all day about pre-approved topics like how awesome the latest Disney Star Wars excretion is, how cute these puppers are, and a few other sufficiently sanitized and marketable topics. A lot of the more entertaining active-on-Twitter cows will get purged so you probably won't get much tard cum, KF or no, unless you're like me and realize about 90 percent of the populace is a bunch of mental defectives that deserve mockery - and you'll end up doing what I do and just keeping it to myself.
 
While the NDAA often has riders attached to it, repealing 230 is a huge ask, especially for a president about to leave office in the next six weeks. And yeah, while Biden claims he wants a repeal as well, why would Trump (or any Republican) want to facilitate Biden's goals? To say nothing of the fact that bills usually take ages to make it through both sides of the legislature (unless they involve emergencies, like Covid). The NDAA is already funded through the end of the fiscal year (October 2021) and it's a military spending bill. There is no reason for anyone to force this through right now unless they're trying to keep Trump happy and since he's on his way out? No one cares - honestly I can see any bill that somehow manages to get written before Inauguration Day getting blocked left and right, just to piss Orange Man off.
 
I get it. Especially the turning of an age thing where your priorities are just different. I wouldn’t expect you to run a website started by making fun of an autistic sonic fan like a darknetmarket. I’ve talked to people about this from all different political leanings and very few seem to get that this changes the entire internet. If it doesn’t happen this year it eventually will - ive always just made temp accounts on here, but thanks for dealing with all the shit you have.


p.s. i kinda like you exceptional bastards.
 
Well on the bright side, with the internet officially being ruined, I'll be forced to more productive shit.

Ideally yes. The issue I see with Section 230 getting rewritten is that in all the negotiating it would make certain groups immune to online criticism and force the site to make drastic changes to how it operates. Say Section 230 gets rewritten where websites are not liable for the content published by users but you can't make fun of people based on their gender identity. In that case Null would have to nuke the Rat Kings sub-forum and ban posts making fun of trannys. The site would be able to survive but it would lose a part of what made it Kiwi Farms, hence why I see it as an OK ending. The site is still up but has some restrictions that take away what made the site what it is.

There's already a proposal for a rewrite handy and while it's a polished turd, it's actually very much for protecting thoughtcrime...and in the US? You've got to very carefully write laws limiting free speech if you want them to survive a challenge.

The less time they have to piss around negotiating, the less patience there's going to be for trying to dick with the draft so you can make illegal whatever your choice of thoughtcrime is--and it'll likely only be the true believers trying to shove it in, because well it had to be done fast. No time to make it so icky thoughtcrime wasn't protected! (Never mind that they might have not even wanted to try to do that. They got their alibi.)
 
Hopefully nothing happens, but on the off chance 230 does get repealed I just want to say thanks for hosting this site. Its honestly one of the last enjoyable places to lurk.
 
I wouldn't be too sure that this gets repealed; I'm not sure if there is enough support in Congress for it. I do find it funny, though, that Democrats and Republicans support the repeal for opposite reasons.
 
I am sad, I found this place by accident a few months ago and it is the only place on the internet left where everyone is accepted and people are allowed to have opinions. I almost couldn’t believe it when I first came here it seemed like a sort of secret bomb shelter where freedom of thought and speech were allowed without any wrist slapping. When I first started posting I felt like a dog that was beaten by its previous owner, I walked on eggshells and tested the waters I was so skeptical a place like this still existed.

Anyway, thanks for making this place. I’m sure it’s been a great respite for many people over the years. Best of luck to you in whatever you do next.
 
There will be an era of "self-regulation" like the ESRB and Twitter and Facebook will head them if this passes. They are already moving into position in case 230 will be shot at the back of the head.

If you want to tell yourself that the red cock feels nicer in your ass than the blue cock or vice-versa you go right ahead and do so, I'm just wondering why people are comfortable getting cocks in their ass constantly.

Trump has made several threats over the years. I still don't see that wall, Orange-man.

Forgive my naivety in ineptitude on the subject, but would hosting the site in another country prove useful, should this get vetoed?

Are you volunteering to host it? Because you're welcome to take on the legal & financial ramifications of that, but dear leader has done enough for our autistic asses already.
