Some may be familiar with disaster recovery or continuity of business plans.
My question is, how might the Kiwi Farms community respond to varying levels of Section 230 or other refinements to US free speech laws?
In military operational planning there is the concept of the enemy's "most likely course of action" and "most dangerous course of action" which can help to guide the emphasis of planning.
Examples:
To my mind these are the primary characteristics that distinguish an Internet forum from other sites or social media:
Example mitigations:
It's also possible that this is a futile exercise and there is either no interest or ability to continue something like this.

In military operational planning there is the concept of the enemy's "most likely course of action" and "most dangerous course of action" which can help to guide the emphasis of planning.
Examples:
- Most dangerous course of action: Sudden repeal of Section 230 resulting in a total shut down
- Most likely course of action: A period of discussion followed by an announcement of a date that will mark the end of Section 230 protections
To my mind these are the primary characteristics that distinguish an Internet forum from other sites or social media:
- Purpose: A focused purpose and controls to maintain the overall focus of discussions via topic-based threaded discussions (as opposed to Twitter or Parler which track topics via hashtags and is more focused on individuals)
- Content: Post content is persistent, mostly text-focused but also includes the attached or archived media
- User community: Includes individual users and appropriate roles
- Access: Existing users can contribute new material, non-users can benefit from the collected content, and new users can gain access and contribute
Example mitigations:
- Content: Archive of data can be shared via Torrent until it can be reconstituted in some other form
It's also possible that this is a futile exercise and there is either no interest or ability to continue something like this.
