I'm personally worried about sites like this one. Right now, they aren't liable for what we post, but after the removal of 230, they would have to start censoring us more.
This. Imagine being able to actually tell a SJW on Reddit that they're wrong, provide evidence, and not have 200 bots automatically downvote you because your post was flagged as wrongthink by Reddit's keyword algorithm.
Why would they? We aren't doing anything illegal. 230 was supposed to protect a site from liability if the users posted something illegal. Political discorce being censored is entirely the will of the website.
So why do you think that getting rid of it is going to make anything better for us? It won't. It basically just kills social media, which is fine I guess. I'd much rather have an online freedom of speech guaranteed by law but that probably won't happen

The reason we're here hidding in a corner of the internet like rats it's BECAUSE of Censorship!
I love the Donald but we shouldn't need it in the first place. We should be able to talk about our point of views EVERYWHERE like regular people.
Removing 230 doesn't mean that we will be guaranteed equal rights online. It means that websites can be sued for the content that people post on them
I wish I was a regular person, big tech made me into a rat!

Um... Removing Section 230 wouldn't do anything about that.
Where in my post did I say anything about "Section 230"?
Reading comprehension.
That makes sense. Gives domain registrars reason to Ban us
Pretty sure they can just do it already whenever they want with no consequences

Because they, as a publisher, will deem what content that want on their platform.
What are you not understanding
Well, they are already doing that, 230 is already functionally useless for preserving free speech.
