I've decided to remove my previous videos regarding the Sunset Section 230 Act as to not create confusion about my stance moving forward. I don't want to promote messages on my feed that endorses a position I no longer hold.

Joseph,

You keep asking a very clean question and it keeps getting answered sideways.

Speech and amplification are not the same thing.

A person saying something is one layer.

A system deciding what gets pushed is another.

One is expression.

The other is selection.

The confusion seems to be coming from treating the algorithm like it’s neutral, or like it’s just an extension of speech.

It isn’t.

It’s a sorting mechanism with a goal.

And the goal isn’t truth or nuance, it’s retention.

So the issue isn’t whether people should be allowed to talk about difficult or dangerous things.

They should.

The issue is whether a system optimized for attention should be allowed to continuously surface what is most extreme because it performs best.

That’s not speech.

That’s distribution.

If there’s a line to draw, it’s there.

Not at what can be said, but at what is systematically amplified.

You don’t have to restrict voices to change the environment they’re moving through.

Thank you for your continued work in this area. It needs more coverage and more advocates for our kids and humanity in general. While tech had the promise to make our lives better, I fear it has turned on its creators accelerating hate, misinformation and unaccountability. It truly breaks my heart but there is always hope. We must use our voices and never give up in shining a light on all of this.

I respect you so much, Joe. HitRecord is such a great place. Still is. Some people try posting AI art on the platform. It just doesn't fit. What you built is unique.

here's my question. where's the ACLU when protesters are being abused,and hauled off to jail?

They are there sometimes.. they cant be at everyone because they arent big enough. They rely on donations for hiring and costs, which makes this a major uphill battle. Contact them, they might help if they have the resources in the area.

corporations get their hands on things and ruins it for everyone. true creation has no monetary value. It makes me think of how awolnation fans changed the lyrics to his line from "i am a human being, capable of doing terrible things" to "i am a human being, capable of doing BEAUTIFUL things." THIS is humanity.

my message to the world:

ATHEISTS BELIEVE IN PEOPLE

I don't know Joe this guy seems to care it's too good to be true. Real Princes don't exist. So far he's another hot guy and all the creepy old guys want his picture. I told him and he got it taken down

Talking to a military Sargent. I'm going to see how it goes but I know the property managers are going to want to talk first thing in the morning. People were lying to my HHS managers about a house

There's a creep who keeps breaking stuff at my apartment and my job at the hospital. He now broke my lock on my door and I'm missing one full night of work. The more raises I get the more im losing money because of this violence.

Anything and shiny ppl are happy. But, as time wears down certain types of ppl have an expectation to those early days. They chase that warm fuzzy feeling. I used to game in college. World of Warcraft. It bred 4chan and 8Chan and thought I paced the way for future girls in the industry. Until the Tangerine Tyrant was elected. I don’t PC game much these days-but console also turn a turn when they allowed OC CoD to play with console. Which was a huge mistake. Keep it separate. And make the internet cost again. 30 hours and after that it costs x amt to access per hour

cozy. Or go back to it costing.

Because I wrote down John Travolta's name they sent me to room 117 with a long list of Preston names. They are interviewing neighbors. It's the 119 creep. Shopping at Target was horrible it was all the girls allowed to show up instead

I worked up the courage to call the Adlers. Went well. I just don't understand why my dad Corey won't answer the phone. I heard rumors he drinks. But I've never seen him drink alcohol

Caleb Landry sounds just like you I thought, “That's Joe I know his voice anywhere.” But it's Caleb. He also had contacts in
