Everyone freaking out about 230 being terminated instead of reformed... <sips coffee>... this is how Trump opens a negotiation. He always overshoots with the expectation of meeting in the middle. This is the Art of the Deal.
I think this site would be fine, we don't pretend to be a town square with open discussions. It's very clear. We are a Trump rally, get on board or gtfo.
Facebook and Twitter pretend being the towns bulletin board and regularly abuse 230 protections.
If Trump is using nation security as a reason to do something, there will be no "Art of the Deal" involved. He will be using Presidential power to eliminate 230 or parts of it because it is a threat to national security (e.g. China has undue influence over Big Tech players, which is likely why they are waging information warfare on the American public).
It's also the effect they have on the competition, similar to anti-trust. Twitter/FB/Youtube/Google are so big that it's virtually impossible to compete. When they decide to "deplatform" someone it affects that person's ability to speak because there are no comparable alternatives.
Section 230 should not exist for any company that averages over X-million views by American each day.
That fixes the issue of small sites being impacted and fucks the large scale censorship machines.
*I don't know what the real number should be to achieve the desired results. Any marketing guys here have an idea?

Oooh. I like. Underrated comment.
This is good.
