i know what you thinking. kat, that has numbers in it. ew, gross. if i cared about triple digit numbers, i look at ratings for cnn. [laughter] but if this law goes away, it could destroy the internet as we know it. but don t worry, joey. porn will still be available, so you won t lose her second job. get it? you thought i was saying he likes porn, but i m saying he is in porn. thank you for your service. [laughter] so, this week the supreme court heard two cases from families who lost loved ones in terrorist attacks, and those families are suing social media companies, alleging they should be held liable for helping isis. when case involved the 2015 paris attacks. it argued that youtube s algorithms recommended isis propaganda to users. the other case claimed twitter gave isis assistance and didn t do enough to police them from sharing content. and that is where section 230 comes in. it is a short law written in 1996 that is said to have created the internet. it goes like t
something that needs to be adjusted. if you go push out hate speech or go after a group because you don t agree with their beliefs, you should be accountable for that. so maybe you don t get to sue twitter, but the ceos who sat around deciding we don t want to hear what johnny joe he has to say because he works for fox, they should be held liable. let s split the diff, know what i m saying? 231. and i m sorry i was high. [applause] kat: judge, you are a judge, and jeanine: i guess an angry one! kat: what joey says, the law doesn t allow anything, so that s a good point you bring up and a lot of people are saying you need to amend it or add something else. what do you think will happen here? jeanine: the problem with section 230 is that it doesn t provide protection for certain people. let me explain what i mean by
we hate twitter, but we like elon we hate electric cars, but they re built in america. there is some duality here. maybe big tech isn t the worst, but it s also not the best. i think they have their work cut out for them. i think social media is an absolutely destructive thing to america, but socks dominic folks knew who i am fox news land because i have a twitter. kat: social media went away, he would have no idea what to do. tyrus: the ad. boy, this is the part where i tell you guys i was really high. [laughter] i agree. maybe we come up with 231 and we add a thing, knowingly. close with the biggest problem with twitter before elon but it is that they were knowingly censoring and deciding what was newsworthy and what is not due to favor of party. in that case, the people who did that should be held accountable. maybe not twitter itself. it s almost like with politicians that have qualified immunity, which i think is
gave isis assistance and didn t do enough to police them from sharing content. and that is where section 230 comes in. it is a short law written in 1996 that is said to have created the internet. it goes like this: no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider. those words allowed the internet to grow exponentially over the past 25 years. because sites like google, twitter, youtube, and facebook couldn t be sued over the content users post on their platforms. now, that was great for anyone who loved free speech, but like when the president climbed stairs, it comes with a risk. [laughter] now, obviously, no one wants to
for silencing our shadow banning their views, like crazy confusing theories about gross stuff on hunter biden s laptop, which could be traced back to gross stuff on hunter biden s laptop. [laughter] but all of the bad things about big tech, and a desire for your voice to be heard, are exactly why you should want to keep section 230. you think big tech censorship is bad now, just imagine how many more things would get censored if these platforms had to worry about getting sued. it would be like trying to watch the movie scarface, if it were edited by dana perino. [laughter] it would be 10 minutes long, and about dogs. [laughter] bottom line, these platforms would be most worried about getting sued by those with the greatest means to do so: the powerful. and if companies like twitter have to worry about that, and they know that it s basically impossible to keep track of everything being posted, don t
