The right wing in America is living in a fantasy land about the law and policy of the internet, a construct that has been politely debunked so many times that it is barely worth addressing on the merits this time

That said, Democrats have absolutely played into this nonsense by *also* going after Section 230, from the opposite direction, over speech that is protected by the First Amendment. It's absolute horseshit.

Just like Prohibition was a bullshit law enacted so people wouldn't have to say the words "domestic violence" out loud, all of this shit is just displaced anxiety over tech monopolies.

In the US it's CDA 230, in Europe it's copyright. No one wants to just do the right thing: antitrust.

And you know, if you're hesitant to go down the path of antitrust, there's always regular-ass taxation and redistribution to give a lil whirl
