That's exactly what 230 has to do with. All this rhetoric about "platform or publisher" has people confused. And unfortunately, when people are confused they still talk like they know what they're talking about, so misinformation spreads rapidly.
Section 230 of the communications decency act establishes that websites that host user generated content are not liable for what their users share on their website, provided the host makes a good faith effort to remove illegal content. This means TD.win is not liable if some rando commie posts CP on the site as an attack. Remove 230 and the commies have an easy way to get this site taken down. And parler. And Bitchute. And gab, and rumble, and your own private little message board site you're trying to start. If you remove 230 you wind up with only the biggest companies will be able to afford the moderation and legal teams to protect themselves, which means you and I won't be able to post a meme anywhere but Twitter and Facebook. By the way, repealing section 230 does not outlaw internet censorship.
