United States2 months ago - Dangerously Wrong
Misinformation abt section 230 - talk to techdirt lawyer instead of heritage foundation. Sus that such a talented audio producer fails at fact checking. This is like someone only interested in the few vaccine reactions vs. all disease prevention. Question everything yet fails to question experts on the law

He has no idea what he is talking about. There are people who actually know, go follow someone else.
