If for example, a user on this site wrote something that could be considered slander, a death threat, etc, the site owners could be sued for allowing slander to exist here. The site would be targeted by the left, and brought down quickly.
Also there is rampant misinformation about what 230 would lead to. It is quite literally the death of social media - no platforms could exist if they were liable for all content. It would be China levels of censorship to avoid lawsuits.
I understand he's making the big ask, but the risk is that Republicans who can't think for themselves will misunderstand his strategy and actually try to repeal 230.
The problem there is the infringement on the private property of these corporations. Whether they are left-biased or right-biased, any platform should have the right to moderate to their discretion.
I'm not saying focused political censorship is good by any means, but freedom of control of your platform is just as important as freedom of speech. Imagine the government was able to dictate to .win on what was or wasn't allowed here?
Honest question. How so?

Lol. Someone who either hasn't read the Art of the Deal or isn't applying what you read to what Trump is doing now. Hence your unnecessary concerns.

Maybe 230 should be removed for social media that engages in censorship. Leave it alone fir those that don’t.

Right. So it's complicated. How do we fix this mess?
