How do you imagine the existence of public forums like this one? Who will risk endless lawsuits by the neo-bolsheviks?

It doesn't apply to forums like thus because TD is not a open platform. Its specifically meant for high energy Trump supporters.

Yeah, but TD would be liable for any harmful content, and hence the mods assiduously keep it clean. Not so easy for Twitter when they are all busy censoring only conservative ideas.

"Clean" as in actionable content where someone would sue you for damages - like doxxing, CP etc. The whole Section 230 was supposed to do exactly this amd hence the language "Delete content for the protection of the community ..." (or something like that) which the Big Tech reinterpreted as delete anything they deem as harmful to the community, and hence we are in this mess.

It's not about censorship. It's the platform vs. publisher question. If a site is a platform, it cannot curate the content. And it cannot be held liable for that content. If a site is a publisher, it can censor whatever content it chooses. But then it can be held liable for the content.
