2021-01-24 Remember When The Internet Was A Public Utility?

Welcome to the Dystopian Times channel. I'll be bringing you the news and insight into "The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism". What's that? That's the Book supposedly written by Emmanuel Goldstein, the fictional character in George Orwell's 1984. In present dystopian times, it's the comparison between what Big Brother says they are doing and why, versus how those same policies and laws actually impact our lives and those of future generations. Here, we examine the theory versus the practice of the oligarchical collective...the club that you aren't a member of. Learn more about that and the topic of this video from the links below.

It's never too late to mount a campaign to amend Section 230 to change clause (c)(2)(A). Why not write a letter to your house and senate reps with the following text?:
------------------------------------------------
I request that you present a new bill to amend article (c)(2)(A) of 47 U.S. Code § 230 to read as follows:

"No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of—
(A)any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user determines to be in contravention of federal criminal law codes [insert list of law codes] or"

And don't forget, American taxpayers funded the development of the internet (ARPANET) and provided venture capital through In-Q-tel for the big tech social media platforms. You should be asking, "Where are my dividend checks, Google, Facebook and Twitter?!"
