Section 230 is a double edged sword. Sure, it is exploited by Twitter, Facebook, et. all. but it also protects sites like TD.win

More importantly, stop looking to government for solutions to all your problems. "There should be a law..." is precisely what got us to where we are today.
There are alternatives to Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, etc. Start using those, stop feeding the beasts that despise you, and stop looking to government to regulate the world into what you think it should be.
Go read Section 230 HERE
I am not in favor of Section 230 any more than I am in favor of any government regulation. At the same time, I also recognize that absent this law, owners of sites like TD.win would be sued from all over the place every time that someone posts something stupid.
There is real easy solution to all of the very valid complaints about Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc. Stop using them.
Most importantly, stop demanding that the government "fix" things that you refuse to act on yourself.
Go read the actual text of 230. Then go back and read my post. I am not defending 230.
Government regulation is the problem. Your solution is "Moar government regulation" or "Repeal 230!"
Let's look at the "Repeal 230" idea": 230 get's repealed tomorrow. The next day, the NAACP, ACLU, a crap ton of other liberal activists, and every local, state, and federal bureaucrat and elected liberal files suit against TD.win and its hosting provider for publishing wrong think and holding the owners of TD.win liable for some stupid ass post random anonymous user made months ago.
Now let's look at "Moar government regulation": Name one government regulation of anything that does not infringe on rights to life, liberty, and property. Sure. You just want the regulation to punish the "bad" people. Do you really want to have government decide who the "bad" people are?
Final point. You repeatedly call me a liberal. I am pointed out that property rights are a fundamental right that government needs to stay out of. You seem to think that your use of a service that someone else owns at that you pay nothing for gives you rights to that property. Which is the more liberal position?
