I know exactly the context I'm lifting that line from (fun fact: Hacker News is not The Government). The great thing about Section 230 is that what is 'offensive' is up to the interactive service provider to judge. We're free to host our own web sites, let others publish to them, and we're free to tell them to get lost if they post repugnant things we don't like. It's perfectly in the spirit of the 1st Amendment.
You're free to start your own web site and allow hate speech to be posted there. Many have tried. This site doesn't do that, and you're still spending time here and not on the hate speech-friendly sites. Why is that?
