Section 230 protects social media sites from being sued based on the content on their website. They couldn't exist without it. Unfortunately, it would apply to all websites.
Understood. Twatter users might not be able to successfully sue Twatter. However, 230 protects Twatter from non-users suing them for slanderous comments on their website. Non-users didn't agree to ToS.

Rescind 230 protections tomorrow.
Now sue the service. Guess what happens next?
They show you the terms of use, that you agreed with, but are now whining about. And your case evaporates.
The terms of service are black and white. If you do not agree, then stop using the service.
It really can't get any more simple, and clear. Hope that helps.

Very good point, but slander is already illegal, no new laws required, you can sue for that today.
