it is extremely funny to me that a lot of the people who want to slash or repeal #Section230 are the same people condemning #NPR's Katherine Maher for her past comments they think are "anti-First Amendment"
in those comments she is actually describing the free speech protections afforded by Section 230 (although Rufo et al have ignored where she said those protections were "very important" and instead spun her comments as though she was criticizing it)
slashing or repealing 230 is the real anti-free speech issue here; certainly not Maher's comments supporting it
A campaign against #NPR's new CEO, ex-#Wikimedia Foundation Katherine Maher, is trying to portray her as "anti-truth" and "anti-First Amendment" by taking quotes out of context from her past talks about Wikimedia. As a longtime Wikipedian, I think I can give a little more context about these statements — but I recognize that the people behind this campaign are, ironically, not looking for the facts.
@molly0xfff Thank you for this incredibly informative post about something that I heard a lot of people talking about but that I didn't really understand. I especially appreciated this being a video because of clips you included. Super helpful.
@molly0xfff So I assume you filled out information about yourself and they wrote the "About the Author" section for you. Although I love the idea of a 5-year-old writing her own About the Author note.
was briefly baffled by this CAPTCHA until i realized it was asking me to identify the animal that was bigger than the other animals in the picture, not the animal that, in real life, is bigger than roughly 1cm
we are rapidly approaching the point at which CAPTCHAs clever enough to keep the bots out are too confusing for the humans
really upsetting to see former Wikimedia Foundation director and CEO Katherine Maher getting targeted by the rightwing outrage machine in her new role as NPR CEO. she's wonderful, and NPR is lucky to have her. i hope they stand behind her.
@molly0xfff - “let the market decide” is frequently code for “universal suffrage/one-person-one vote doesn’t land in my favor so let’s bias towards folks with cash”.
