3 years ago, when a domestic abuser blogging for @HuffPost FALSELY accused me of sexual assault—w/ no editorial oversight—my life/career was upended.
Yet, HuffPost was legally shielded by Sec. 230 bc it was a blogger—not a staff employee. THREAD...https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1313511340124917760?s=20 …

Here's the thing. Your not in jail, and there are no pending criminal charges against you and you don't have a pattern of allegations. I believe you. This is what happens when the law cannot catch up to digital, and the legislation is written by only one generation of politics.

This is not a generational issue...this is a politicians-being-bought-off issue. Multi-billion $ corporations—which own companies like
@HuffPo—buy off the politicians to write laws like Section 230 that give them blanket immunity. It happens in almost every law on the books.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

There are good parts of Section 230...but the part that shields an outlet like
@HuffPo from liability if something defamatory/libelous is printed as a STORY on THEIR PLATFORM-simply bc an EMPLOYEE didn't do it but a third-party blogger instead. That is ABSURD.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

Outlets like
@HuffPo have a responsibility to VET what's published on THEIR platform-whether on their front page or on their blog. Why? Because to the public, if it's printed under HuffPo, it's a reputable news story...even if the author is an unvetted domestic abuser1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -
I'm not unaware of something like this. It happens in traditional media. They can print, air, digitize anything about a guy under age 18 without vetting or contacting for comment. Another lawyer used to tell me media can say whatever they want. No criminal eligibility necessary

That’s simply not true or factual in any way. Media can’t just say/report whatever it wants. If defamatory and/or libelous things are published, they can and should be sued and face financial consequences.
