terminating 230 means the site owner is directly liable for the content. So they'd probably need to vet us all and implement an ability to terminate accounts and delete content the moment any of us step out of line (like a publisher).
I for one am not for completely dismantling all of social media. sam is a fantastic tool for small businesses to advertise at Los cost (like gun stores), have groups of people conglomerate (double edged sword, but how many of us would be Trump supporters without TD? I'm guessing maybe half), and for leaders (like Trump) to communicate to his people.
We need monopolies broken up, and held to certain standards.
You mean we might have to post under absurd rules that large companies don't have to follow and carefully watch every word we say while their sites host thousands of people cackling about cutting our throats open in the street?
Except in this case, the Big Ask is playing straight into hands of Big Tech, who also want 230 gone (not now, but in short time frame) and own enough lobbyists to make it happen, especially when POTUS is acting like he is on board.
this site would be impacted as well, right?

Yeah better to break up ISP monopolies. Service sucks and they throttle Netflix, plus adding caps now
They should throttle all CP distribution networks.

if we assume the rules will be applied fairly (I know, but follow me)
we already know twitter/facebook have tooling that can completely shadowban anyone at a moments notice, so they can do it.
Remove section 230 social media dies and what is left are the "politically correct" influencers pandering to whoever signs their checks.
No, meaning that lefties could swarm here, post child porn and get the site and the owners into serious legal troubles.
That’s my understanding as well
So it would effectively destroy free speech?
yes, and it would kill big tech in the process. it's the nuclear option, and the only option trump himself can somewhat enforce.
