The incredibly irony here is that Google is crucifying ZeroHedge for content its users post, whilst Google disclaims any responsibility for bad behavior on their platforms by using Section 230 as a shield: "We aren't responsible for what our users post."

The fact that Google will both exploit Section 230 while attacking other sites which expect the same immunity is absolutely golden, and a clear demonstration of why it needs to be stripped of the privilege.




The irony certainly isn't lost on me - I find it enraging. I'm also annoyed by @NBC_VC being framed as a self titled Orwellian 'news' 'verification' outfit when they are clearly highly partisan and intent on closing down anyone they don't agree with. I pay little attention to NBC or MSFTNBC but this is making me actively dislike them


Google will remove or demonetise videos that violate their terms of service. Also Section 230 protects you from legal action, it doesn't protect you from things that are not court based.
