Everyone in this admin, from the president on down, rushes to social media to put things out rather than act responsibly and prudently. Always looking to declare victory while seeking praise.

It’s not the free market of ideas, it’s import substitution industrialization for far right shit. By going back you’re only legitimizing it when the question you should be asking if you care is “how do we get everyone else to realize it’s a funhouse mirror?”

It’s very simple. Genuinely very simple. Until Section 230, it was the case that any website that allowed a user to publish any content of any kind could be sued if they said *anything* libelous or bad. That includes web hosts, blogging platforms, social media etc.

In short - Section 230 as it stands is absolutely core to how the internet functions today, and removing it would generate absolute legal chaos and probably result in the end of all social media, all comment sections and lots of basic internet hosting services. The liability would be insane.
