   Never had so many people ask for my take about Wired's piece on getting rid of Section 230 as anything else. So here it is. The piece is terrible and @WIRED should be ashamed. https://www.techdirt.com/2024/02/15/has-wired-given-up-on-fact-checking-publishes-facts-optional-screed-against-section-230-that-gets-almost-everything-wrong/

     @mmasnick @WIRED

     404 words to get to the introduction raised a 404. I beg your pardon.

     After RTFA and your response I just have to marvel that anybody can think making publishers more responsible for what they promote could possibly sink the discourse any lower when the Cronkite of our age invites on recurring guests to promote bug-eyed conspiracy theories about how, say, it's the drugs that cause AIDs.

     The fundamental disagreement might be that you think everything is fine.
