Wicker: "Google threatened to cut off the Federalist from their ad platform. Google is more zealous in policing conservative sites than YouTube"
Fact: The Federalist wouldn& #39;t remove openly racist comments, so Google wouldn& #39;t show ads next to that

We debunked the fake controversy over the Federalist being "censored" in our reply comments on NTIA& #39;s petition #page-230">https://techfreedom.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/NTIA-230-Petition-Reply-Comments-9.17.2020.pdf #page-230">https://techfreedom.org/wp-conten...
Wicker says Google treats conservative sites more harshly, but Google applies the same rules to YouTube: no racist https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź’©" title="Dreckshaufen" aria-label="Emoji: Dreckshaufen">

Rs claim narrowing of #Section230 protections for content moderation won& #39;t make it harder to stop election interference because that& #39;s illegal
Fact: current law bars foreigners ONLY from express advocacy of specific candidates
So most election interference is NOT illegal...

So, no, it& #39;s not enough for Republicans to say that #Section230 would still protect moderation of illegal content
Their bill would allow lawsuits to be sued for moderating the bulk of foreign election interference: "issue advocacy" that doesn& #39;t mention a specific candidate

. @SundarPichai: "At the end of the day, we all share the same goals"
If only that were true!
Republicans& #39; goal here is to do everything possible to stop moderation of hate speech, misinformation, and yes, foreign election interference (that doesn& #39;t mention specific candidates)

We explained why Republicans& #39; proposed legislation would discourage tech companies from moderating hate speech, misinformation and most foreign election interference in this letter to the @SenateCommerce committee last night

So, Wicker& #39;s complaint is that... Twitter will let world leaders "sabre-rattle" against other countries but not incite violence against their own citizens
And that is somehow unfair to Trump

Cory Gardner is outraged that Twitter hasn& #39;t moderated Iran& #39;s Grand Ayatollah& #39;s tweets denying the Holocaust
Wait to he finds out that Republican amendments of #Section230 would allow websites to be sued for moderating exactly that kind of misinformation!
