How do we ram this through Congress? The Dems want to keep 230 in place as they like censoring people who don’t agree with them, nor do the Dems want an election fraud study, at least one that could affect the 2020 outcome.
I'm not convinced that the dems want to keep Section 230 in place. If it is repealed Youtube will just become online TV with only approved voices. Facebook and Twitter have such great reach they can just litigate away most problems via forced binding arbitration clauses in their Terms of Service, basically if you're a member of those sites any suit would have to be arbitrated.
230 repeal will likely kill alt-tech, unless it adapts. Without 230 the choices are either 1) moderate and accept liability for user generated content or 2) don't moderate, allow everything and you can escape liability.
230 was put in place due to two court cases. In one, a site that didn't moderate user generated content was found to be not liable. In another, the site that did moderate was liable.
Sites like TD.WIN actually have the best chance of surviving as we already have a built in moderation method, upvotes. On hot you see the most vetted content, rising is pretty much safe and new is the wild west. This site could just stop moderation and let all of the spam live in new and rely on users to self-moderate the content and I think that would allow them to escape liability.
