Some leftists literally threw parties to celebrate the fact that Rush Limbaugh died from lung cancer. Where was the outrage then? People who think someone is worthless will celebrate their death regardless of their criminal record.

Just a great little bit of internet nostalgia from the 90's in living AM filtered audio. Worth a listen on the 1 hour and 21 minute mark.
I think this could be a canary in the coal mine for the Biden admin and the Democrats at large.
The Post also covered the Biden laptop scandal just before the election which was suppressed by all major social media and the establishment media.
Run.
Don't let your kids get sucked into this. If they are already, rescue them. If your parents have been captured by Zuck and his minions, get them out. Go outside and look at a tree. Reality is fine as it is.
The whole point of Section 230 immunity is to basically neutralize the platform's responsibility so in that case they shouldn't care who says what and let the opposing sides battle each other on the merits of what's being said.
So why do they maintain huge and cumbersome speech codes and rules of what can be said on their platforms?
It's simple. Threat of regulation. The tech monopolists are like the old time robber barons of the early 20th century with their mega corps (railroads, oil, tobacco, etc). They are trying to hang on to their behemoths' power and appease political forces at the same time.
What part of my comment indicates I am playing the victim?
For one thing, the argument on the left that gender and sex are not the same and a biological man can become a biological woman is currently scientifically impossible. Men and women are fundamentally distinguished by DNA. Even with genital mutilation surgery and hormone therapy you are only changing about 0.01% of what makes and man and a woman different as every chromosome in that person's body is the same biological sex they had at birth. Setting aside any political or subjective "reality" they are trying to push on to others.
Second, Pfizer scientists are on tape stating that antibodies gained through COVID infection are more robust than those gained from their vaccines. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/oct/5/project-veri...
You're damn right people are going to be skeptical of higher education when they indoctrinate in the anti scientific cult of leftism. People are starting to smell the rotting corpse of common sense and rest assured there will be a societal reboot soon enough.

For example say a disgruntled ex-lover posts private medical information on someone else and this gets indexed by Google. Obviously this is a breach of privacy. I would extend that to any private information, and the person should have the ability to remove that private information.
I think it has also been made more and more clear that platforms should not perpetually and forever host information about individuals against their wishes. People change, and this should be reflected in the public square. In the old days, your shouts only existed in the memory of those that were there. Now they are as fresh as the day they were posted.
The UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 12 states: "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks."
The key is "protection of the law" and this is why I think that privacy should be regulated by government which extends its authority into "private" companies. Clearly that function is needed. However, I am constantly hearing the opposite case being made, that government should use its power to dig up information on law-abiding citizens as they could be doing something illegal.
So no, the old argument of "if you don't want it known, don't do it" is fallacious and dangerous.
Personally I use Brave Search for 99% of my searches. They are definitely privacy based, unlike some other alternatives.
But as you say, the result will only be temporary. But that's the nature of freedom isn't it? It must be constantly fought for. We grew complacent with our Starbucks and televised competitive sporting events, blockbuster movies and a feelings-based economy.
I believe the long term strategy would be to get to the root of the problem: insanity, irrationality and cowardice. If we can bring our children up to be rational, compassionate and logical, and to create a failsafe system to correct irrationality we will go a LOT further and this world would be a better place!
