Senate Republicans Complain About Censorship After Blocking Section 230 Veto
The official account of the GOP Senate Majority reported that Facebook shut down Republican ads aimed at voters in the upcoming Georgia runoff, on the same day that it passed the National Defense Authorization Act without the repeal of Section 230 requested by President Donald Trump.
Facebook said that the account posting the ads had been shut down in error, and was restored.
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is the law that gives tech companies legal immunity from lawsuits related to defamatory content posted by users, as well as immunity from lawsuits related to censoring user content.
In other words, Section 230 allows platforms like Wikipedia to smear you as a racist while allowing platforms like Facebook and Twitter to censor you if you object too strenuously.
As the Senate Republicans have apparently just found out, it also allows big tech companies to meddle in elections while suffering little in the way of legal consequences.
“Facebook has shut down the ad account for the Georgia Battleground Fund, a joint fundraising committee for NRSC, @Perduesenate, and @kloeffler. This is unacceptable with only 4 days to Election Day,” said the account of the National Republican Senatorial Committee on Twitter.
Big Tech is at it again.

Why would they want yo stand up to them: those swap creatures are their reliable paymasters.
They are merging with the democrats. Mandarin Mitch and Pakistani Graham in particular.
Exactly … they haven’t figured out that if they do not fight for Trump … they end up with NOTHING!!!
CNN will have no use for them … and 80million Trump voters no longer watch FOX … RINORATS will be irrelevant.
The hypocrisy of a RINO politician knows no bounds.
The RINO uniparty has become useless it is now time to destroy it, a third party conservative alternate is in order
The GOP is a lost cause. Trump tried to make nice with them but now the gloves need to come off.
McConnell has ties to China thru his wife, Elaine Chao!!!
Yep so now McConnell takes his orders from the CCP & they just love Big Tec's censorship of anything from the right side.
In fact, CCP demands it.
Zuck's wife is a Chinese anchor baby.
The RINO/gopEs still think it is 2015 and they can get away with these dog and pony shows PRETENDING to be against something while doing nothing except appeasing their donor base. Remember: Repeal Obamacare? Year after year, fruitless Vote after Vote–and when we gave them the House, Senate AND Presidency, they STILL wouldnt do it.
Well boys and girls, it doesnt work anymore. See that "Woke" thing has affected the R Base TOOonly we arent burning down Citieswe are BURNING DOWN the gopE/RINOs. We are coming for you. Those of you who stabbed PDT in the back every time you could (we're looking at you Thune and mittens). Those of you who used him to get re-elected then turned your back on him (we're looking at you Turtle).
We have a list–you got re-elected this last Term because WE needed you to support PDT who actually DID get re-elected.
If they Election Steal is successful and PDT is goneWE WILL take it out on YOU because you saw this coming and did NOTHING. Then when it happened, you couldnt WAIT to "congratulate" biden. You proceeded to Override PDT's Vetosomething you were too afraid to do while he was President but the SECOND you thought he is gone, you confirmed your true colors to us. We SEE you–each and every one of you.
Please add Ben (the ass) Sasse to the list
Once again republicans are duplicitous scum. I hate them more than I hate demos….at least I know where the dems stand, anti-American scum, but with republicans they love to stab you in the back while pretending to be on your side.
Ha, ha, when Republican politicians are told to assemble for a firing squad they automatically make a circle !!!
$4.3 billion for Israel, 600 shekels for the American_goyim.
Just like the Senate Republicans.
All talk. All complaining. AND NO ACTION.
Worthless buffoons and traitors.
Fema camps are covid camps
