Renee DiResta (noupside@saturation.social)'s status on Wednesday, 20-Mar-2024 22:49:27 JST Renee DiResta

Matt Taibbi is currently having a multi-day meltdown over the extent to which his Twitter Files conspiracy theory was destroyed in SCOTUS oral arguments Monday. And in keeping with his deception over the last year, he deliberately misquoted and lied about me again.
First image is Matt’s post. Second is what I actually said. I was literally expressing *the opposite* point of view - that CDA 230 is not a fix for misinformation and it’s a waste of time when Govt tries to use it that way.

1. Biden did it on the campaign trail, saying Section 230 should "immediately be revoked" because "it is propagating falsehoods." Surgeon General Vivek Murthy compared speech to disease, saying "limiting the spread of health misinformation is a moral and civic imperative" and proposing "appropriate legal and regulatory measures that address health misinformation." Renee DiResta, Research Director of the DHS- sponsored Stanford Internet Observatory, told NPR that whether it was posts about vaccines or election fraud, "There's hope that we can cure all of the problems of the world by. amending_[Section 230]."Biden did it on the campaign trail, saying Section 230 should "immediately be revoked" because "it is propagating falsehoods."

2. "Asking or expecting the platforms to take action on certain types of health misinformation may be reasonable, but this sort of dynamic that we've all watched unfold over the last year and a half makes clear how this approach has some potentially problematic pitfalls," she said. DiResta also warned that focusing narrowly on how platforms handle specific types of content, whether it's lies about vaccines or baseless claims of election fraud, risks ignoring the bigger picture of how information is created and spread - both on social media and in other channels. "There's hope that we can cure all of the problems of the world by amending [Section 230]," she said. "It's not so simple as we're going to regulate social media platforms and this is all going to go away."
