I see a lot of people asking "wouldn't stripping section 230 protections create more censorship on the platform?" That is the point. Shifting all liability to Twitter would effectively kill the platform as there is no way, even with the most sophisticated methods available, to police a platform of that size to the point where the liability is acceptable.
- nutjob2 6y agoNever mind Twitter, it would do the same to all websites if it held. The internet would be destroyed overnight, at least in the US.
- ncallaway 6y agoYep. There's a million small forums that want to provide some levels of political moderation (e.g. we don't want the KKK or overt Nazis posting their rants). Yet if you remove those posts, suddenly you become liable for anything posted on the rest of your forum. It's going to kill every small community on the internet. I suspect HN would be included in that.
