I will take the other side for $100 a senate seat for even odds.

i can get 40:60 for warnock and 35:65 for ossoff on predictit
With the fees I’m basically giving you fair value for warnock, especially if you are already maxed out on there.

i already have money in the system so just the 10% of profit applies.

i haven't placed any new money on either dem yet, but still have some money from before the general election in a couple of senate control marketplaces.

My understanding is that repealing it would allow social media sites to be sued for content users post. So sites like Facebook, Twitter, Parler, Reddit, maybe even smaller sites like goEMAW, would have to ban a whole lot of members and possibly shut down.

I think it's mostly overblown and the Dems should call the bluff.

Honestly, I wouldn't be that upset. Social media is the worst. However, think about about what those companies contribute to our economy? Would they up and leave for Europe?

It would honestly be worth it just to watch Trump realize that no website will let him post on it.

I'm pretty sure Silicon Valley would vanish in an instant. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. Probably bad.

I'm about 100% sure that the protections would be put back in place during the first week of Biden's presidency, anyway.

I was gonna stay away from this but Section 230 needs to be modified. It should in no way shape or form be repealed and removed.

Nobody but Donald Trump actually thinks it should be removed.

Would prob kill youtube, bbs's, all sites that don't immediately take down comment sections, etc.  It would kill interaction with the internet that is open to public uploads.

Nobody actually supports doing that, though. The protections would be put back in place in a couple of weeks after Trump and the GOP are completely humiliated.

I don't know. When was the last time the government took power from citizens and didn't give it back?

I think it would be good if social media sites and any internet commenting outlet went away.  I think it's been bad for us.
