Its a legal protection that absolves them from responsibility of posts to their site, ie threats of violence, copy right infringement, anything illegal. They are not supposed to be editorial though

And what would be the benefit and consequence of repealing it?

How about no more Big Tech censoring and publishing fake news with inpunity. They can be sued to oblivion. Do you remember why this site was made in the first place? This is pay back.

Draw me a map of how repeal of section 230 gets the big tech sites sued into oblivion for censorship and fake news. I'll wait.

No 230 means that they can't do whatever the fuck they want anymore.

It means any bullshit on their platform will come back to them and they will be sued to Oblivion because of things like defamation, libel, etc. 230 gives them Platform immunity.

They will eventually be unable to function and crumble. So the biggest enemy of the republic and the 1st amendment will be gone.

Not only that but if charged with conspiring against the government and interfering in the elections (Witch they did) then the government can sieze all of their assets as per Trump's executive order here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-imposing-certain-sanctions-event-foreign-interference-united-states-election/

In one fell swoop all the insane big tech warlords like Zuckerberg etc. will be in prison with their fellow commies.

Then smaller websites like this one can come in to take their place but none will be able to get too big qne that's a good thing. The internet will change but we need this to happen if we want a future.

In Conclusion this protects our Republic from giant mega technology corporations like Google controlling the flow of information and the MSM should be next.

Basically you can go on Twitter and post "Orange Man Good" and some triggered lefty can sue Twitter for promoting hate speech because you like literally raped their eyes. Basically, they are spending all their income on civil defense in court.

No, because we're not editing content here. Also, the rules are out front and center and all are held to the same standards.

If I started posting spam Trump coin links, I'd be gone with the quickness.
